We tend sometimes to be smug and think that democracy is so great that it can't be improved upon. Idiots elect idiots and morons forgive morons, and the electorate get what they deserve!
The people elected to represent me, in reality, only represent their own political party , and don't give a shit about me until the next election, when they return begging for my vote. My taxes also pay the salary of seperatists in our "common house". We have a senate appointed for life or age 75 if it comes first. We have compulsary retirement for most at age 65 but have a 65 year old right wing billionaire being invested as our next Prime Minister without an election.
All of this idiocy allows the liberals to waltz into power because an alternative does not exist. The only threat to power that Cretien has had in years is from his "friends" trying to stab him in the back!
We once had the best system of health care on earth but these idiots want a private system like the USA. Our courts are pandering to the criminals and our schools are graduating more morons to feed the system.
    All that being said when we look around we realize that is still the best country on earth.
If we unite the right what the hell should we do with them then???
