Keep Democracy Alive - Don't Vote

Let's face it it this hasn't been a fair contest.
People apparantly basing their decision on our past record; an unbiased media; a muted reaction from the Canadain Parapalegic Association to the Tories' 'Stand up for Canada' slogan - the least they could have done is take this discrimination to the Supreme Court - have all conspired against us

And what are we doing - asking you to vote in the depths of winter? Many of you in rural areas having to drive kilometres as gas prices hover around the $1 per litre and then making you queue whilst numbskulls, who think that being volunteers gives them the right to be inefficient, can't find your name on the register
Some of you have to take some of your precious vacation to vote - How does that help your family?
Others get given time off work to vote - How does that help the economy?

One undistinguished blagger calls us fascists(CP), crooks(LIB), commies(NDP) and traitors(BQ)- he forgot the Lonnies (Green) - and there is no uproar about lack of respect for politicians

And what of the leaders?
Painted as a typical hockey dad, Harper's only (sur)real world experience was as leader of the shady organization the National Citizens coalition a name purloined from a Zambian political party, of all places
Layton and his faithful companion have lived off Toronto's taxpayers for more than a decade
As for Duceppe,the closest he has got to getting is hands dirty was wearing a shower cap in a cheese factory

Et moi? Well I have had a great career generationg massive profits but admit that precious little of them found their way to Revenue Canada

So we're a bunch of shysters - but surely the principle is still valid?
Nah. Don't believe all that baloney about your forefathers fighting for democracy That would be your forefathers that believed in slavery and would have strung up from the nearest tree anyone who remotely ssuggested same-sex marriage

And as for that canard that if you vote you cannot complain
You have one measly vote, for Chrissake. Not one riding in Canadian federal election history has been decided by one vote - and its not going to start happening now, I'm tellin' you. Voting is just the crack for the masses. It keeps you thinking you have some control of a country in fact run by a small elite

So I have a simple plea - Don't Vote.

Sit back and have a laugh this evening as CBC et al try and explain why riding after ridng has zero votes. By abstaining you will help make Canada become world news for the first time since seal culling was the story of the day

Scott, off the record, you are sure about the Elections Act, right. If no-one votes the incumbent keeps his/her job and we're back for four more years

Too late Pauly
There was advance voting last week

Speaking of culling. Your turn next

You are one sick puppy. Terminal. It is quite possible you will never get it.

Although, if we are very fortunate, one thing you and your ilk will "get" is the boot today. Not that Canada would be so fortunate as to be completely rid of such parasites, but we could use a break.
