Today’s Blog Post
With the 4th election in 7 years looming in Canada and with still little change in the political landscape of each party’s support… it could be possible… very possible.
What is “it”?
“It” is looming close by… something like an alien that will look very different from what we are familiar with.
“It” is a possible coalition of Liberals and the New Democratic. That is my simple evaluation of what is happening.
How could that be? Aren’t they very different in their policies and methodologies? I mean that are not a like at all.
Well look at this… the Conservative Party is still out front with the recent numbers from the latest Poll. Each of the other two is still behind by a larger amount than ever. But if they were together, at least the perception was given that they are; they could be ahead of the Blue Big Conservative Monster that is leading now.
That is what the numbers seem to show now.
It might happen for another reason too. Both leaders of the two trailing groups have nothing to lose. If they don’t call an election now they will be ousted by their parties when another later election comes (the one that will have to be according to the calendar schedule).
If they call for the election now by bringing down the present Government – and lose they are out anyways.
But if they join together and people believe that it might work.. it is new… it is desperate… it is something that might even interest some conservative voters… WHY NOT NOW!? It might waken the Youthful voters too.
The BIG C is possible – Coalition.
At this point my Grandfather Charlie Kirkpatrick would just about be kicking his coffin open! A solid CCFer and I’m supposing a NDPer (they didn’t exist before he died) – a coalition with the Liberals would send someone to HELL to burn for ever. No Liberal ever gave two hoots about the Farmers – especially the ones that lived in Saskatchewan! Everyone knows that if you have any dirt in your blood stream.
But all of my Grandpa Kirk’s age group is dead and most today don’t know what a Farmer is… nor do they care.
Who knows – it just might work?
Desperate conditions require desperate actions. Everyone knows that. And if you are about to lose which everyway you do it… why not give it a try? The worst that can happen is that the old place you worked will take you back – or some one that has money will give you a better job anyway.
Now I know that Liberals and NDPers – together with the Conservative folk must have watched what happened in Egypt and the surrounding countries. There has been change.
That change is coming from the younger set of each country – the ones that will take over soon. The old dictatorships and autocratic government styles are passé.
“That could never happen in Canada! That was the unstable Middle East! Never Canada! We don’t have a dictatorship here…” you say.
Have you tried lately to talk to your politician, suggest what you think or know? Have you had a concern about what your community is facing and tried to express that to your local MP?
If you have you will know that most don’t listen. And the ones that do… never pass it on to their bosses – or boss… because the Boss is not listening either.
In fact when it happens to you – there is strong feeling that one person – or a very few persons are running the show. What local people feel and say really are of no importance!!!!
Now isn’t that exactly what the local folk of Egypt were complaining about? Is that what all the protests were about? Isn’t that why Governments have been going down?
I am convinced that change is possible. Good or Bad… who knows. But frustration is so great at certain levels and communities that change may happen quickly.
Have you noticed that a few notable political leaders have backed away from running again? They are seasoned political vets. They do not want the next round to take place near them… or at them.
I think they know more than most do.
Something is about to happen… and it will begin tomorrow.
Sheesh I feel like a geek… that is standing in the desert looking for little green men… or some colour.
Liberals are RED… NDPers are Orange… put that together… depending on how much of each colour and you will have something loud and bright… to say the least.
Nope – I am not a prophet. In the Old Testament way when a Prophet was a little off... they stoned him. I am likely more than a little off.
But I have a lot of my Grandpa Kirk in me. Put a little political stuff near him and the quiet man started talking!
