Minority

Last night we Ontarians elected a minority government. Good. I like minority governments. It means that politicians have to act like adults instead of bullies. It means that politicians have to work together, find common ground, compromise, conciliate, instead of running roughshod. I only wish the constitution could be changed so that elections could only be called every four years. Then minority governments would have to work together.

Three Random Thoughts About Elections:
1. When are we going to get electronic ballots?
2. I love election night TV, but I am not sure why. I am not a political junkie.
3. Lawn signs other than pink flamingos and roofer signs. But please take them down after the election!

Election Day

Today we go to the polls to elect a new government. It is fitting that the election comes around Thanksgiving, don't you think? What a privilege it is to be able to vote and voice your opinion about the results. Maybe we take it all for granted, but so many people in this world are not so fortunate. I give thanks that I am a Canadian.

Three things I like about Canada:
1. Freedom to be me;
2. Openness to ideas;
3. Changing seasons.

What do you like about Canada?
