it doesn't matter when change is the wrong change
OK. I've been getting a lot of responses to the fact that I would prefer to have to Liberals in power forever. not true. but i feel the liberals have been punished enough.
1) there are in severe debt
2) they have lost loyal members
3) a lot people are in trouble
What makes me angry are the reasons for their upheaval.
What is wrong with a party that represents the views of Canadians? I keep hearing that "oh the Liberals can't be in power forever", "they can't be a natural power", "change is needed, just because the liberals have won the last 3 elections".
well. how would you feel if you were fired from your job after 30 years because, well change is needed? If your preforming well, if your producing results, why should you get fired? hmmm..well you shouldn't.
The Liberals were producing solid economic results, they wiped the largest Canadian financial mess produced by the Mulroney-Conservative government. They represented Canadian views. The people responsible for the scandal left the party, its like your entire department being fired because the VP of the previous ran deficits and carelessly spent money.
If the alternative was the conservatives, which it was. If the Leader of the party had never been outside North America. If the cabinet was filled with rookies. If the health minister threatened Ontarians lives during SARS. If the Finance Minister ran deficits in Ontario, and then lied about it. If the party is known to have right wing tendencies. why did they win..BECAUSE we wanted change.
I'm getting use to the Liberals losing the Jan 23 election. but the conservatives try to pin the scandal card on the new liberals, that's just sad.
Now to go back, what is wrong with having the same party win, if its doing a good job?

Blogguy,
The change isn't bad, the change is a breath of fresh air. Please see my comment under "are Canadian's deaf and blind?".
Don't be so disappointed. Harper isn't going to destroy the nation. He is bringing in some new ideas and rattling a few cages. Quite frankly the cages need some serious rattling.
I would be more disappointed by how unprepared your party is right now to form a government.
If Harper stumbles badly enough, there is a chance that the Liberal Party could win an election. With the ten dwarves running, I don't think your party is ready for the opportunity. Both the campaign and also governing. Liberal's Getting elected now would just cause a bigger reverse bounce.
The Liberal's are nowhere. The Party needs a few year's behind a "youngish" and "brightish" leader to re-build its policy packet.
Give it time, hold your nose, and trust PMSH to not wreck everything, he won't. Most Canadians think he is making a positive difference.

Fact: All polls revealed that people voted on Jan 23rd either out of anger or need for a change. Consistantly on 5% to 9% voted for Harper's policies. This speaks volumes to me.
If we hung onto scandals, then the Conservatives would never, never win after the Mulroney years. Also, the NDP have had their share of scandals, especially out west.
It's over and time to move on. Perhaps a time for change again?
The Mulroney Conservatives lost because of scandals. If people didn't care about their sleazy ways, then they would have never lost in 1993. The Liberals were on their death knell in 1984.
