VOTING EYES WIDE OPEN

I recieved an email with a contribution from a member (WHOOPS, sorry about that I said before it was the webmaster. that was incorrect it is just a member named FurGaia.) I found it very interesting, so I'll share it with you here:

VOTING EYES WIDE OPEN

Lately I have been posting reading material to my blog entry at Vive le Canada. I have found the links provided by other bloggers very instructive. I have therefore provided them in my blog entry so that those who may have missed them could read them. Not being a neocon or neoliberal or libertarian or any of those things, obviously the links that I chose were mostly critical of Mr. Harper and his team. [I am not affiliated to any party but, in this election, I am voting for the Liberal Party.]

I have found the following links instructive.

A new friend for George Bush
The Conservative Platform and a follow-up.
Think Twice on January 23
"Good Bye Budget Surplus, We Hardly Knew Ya"
Who is helping "The Conservative Cause"
Conservative platform would reshape nation
unacceptable.

"The Conservatives' plan for a 'Choice in Child Care Allowance' is seriously flawed"
Think Twice Canada!
Checks and balances!
"Some people are in for a rude shock after January 23rd"!.

We now have come to the final stretch.
A sober summary on this final weekend.

There are lots of particular issues that still require more debates, for example, the Equalization issue.

Then there is the fact that those doubts just won't go away.
Last but not least, one MUST ask oneself if what Mr. Harper is offering Canadians is so good for us, why then is he muzzling local candidates ... and why on earth does he feel that his agenda needs to be kept in check!!!

In the end, each will vote according to his or her conscience but we will all have to live with the consequences, not just the day after and the year after, but most probably for years to come. Not just us but the next generation as well. Indeed, the whole World will be affected by the way that we will cast our vote.

Insofar as that it is worthwhile to explore the links between the Canadian neoconservatives and the American neoconservatives, then perhaps the following may prove helpful. For having failed to identify the threat of the conservative movement in time, the Americans are paying a terrible price today. This piece by Jerome illustrate most poignantly the despair. The campaign strategist David Sirota will soon publish his book about the the hostile takeover of America , this is almost six years after George Monbiot Captive State - The Corporate Takeover of Britain! Once the Neocons have become entrenched, the fight to reclaim our government is long and hard!

But we do not have to go there! We can still fight this! We can still say no!
