I am quite convinced that a great many Canadian consumers (formerly know as citizens) are woefully, excruciatingly ignorant about the system that controls their country.
The one and only reason I dread Canadian elections is the incremental revelation of the apathetic ignorance of what the media likes to refer to as the “average Canadian”.
Rick Mercer used to do a funny bit where he would interview U.S. Americans and ask them loaded, misleading and comical questions with a deadpan seriousness. Laughter would ensue upon hearing the incredibly stupid answers he would receive to his trick questions.
Rick could have saved a lot of travel time and money by staying in Canada and asking the same questions.
Enjoy this silly month of regurgitated attack ad slogans, partisan talking points and intelligence insulting "promises".
Try not to let the throbbing waves of stupid hurt your face.

I'm wondering how else human beings can organize themselves to be more effective with bringing forth positive, creative, and lasting change...what needs to happen to open the doors of perception/inception...creative growth as opposed=to mutant or destructive growth? no answers here only mystery......lol
We have a system that, while very imperfect, has within itself the seeds from which a true democracy, with respect for the rights of the individual, could arise.
stephen harper is deliberately attacking the institutional supports for democracy and he should be universally reviled.
this election so far is a major disappointment to me.
