Rethinking, Rehoping, Resetting

I left the last article up so that it would be up until election day, at the risk of stagnation of my blog. Now I am wondering if I want to get so involved in the political process anymore. While my preference would be to out the anti-women activities and lack of political activity of our current incumbent, I have to honestly wonder if having CSIS and other assorted agencies on my ass makes it worth it.

While I will probably vote NDP until the day I die, the sheer futility of doing so in my riding is numbing. The majority of people in my riding would rather have a women’s right to choose wiped out and the 1950’s brought back in full force. This is sad because I love living in the country, but I am going to have to accept that most people who live in the country just don’t think the same way I do. This just means avoiding conversation with the neighbours (except the ones I like) as much as possible.

Will I vote Liberal if Trudeau Jr. comes on board? That depends how much of the NDP platform he adopts. I was impressed by his humanitarian work with Kadhr and have to say that he does stand up on his own and has probably come out of Daddy’s shadow somewhat. As of right now though, Jack Layton is a better choice for leader.
