But I can't help but think that Justin is an inexperienced leader controlled by handlers on Bay street. I remember the carnage on poor and unemployed folks, and people that needed affordable housing, and cuts to healthcare that Paul Marin and Chretien caused in their efforts to please international banks, and of course the scandals, which are are being swept under the rug provincially in Ontario by a Liberal majority government. And of course campaign promises that never materialize as well. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I think Justin is an entitled follower. The Establishment media took a page from Obama's 2008 election and made him rock star. The Liberal Party followed Wynne's successful strategy of fear (a vote for the NDP = a vote for CONS), and amplified it to the national stage.
Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled to be rid of Harper, but I think Canadians are choosing hopey-changey over sound governance. Its true that the current NDP is not my CCF of old NDP, but I thought they had the best policy. So, knowing that my vote wouldn't have mattered, I might as well have voted for my local Communist Party candidate. I've done it before.
