The Briar Patch

 Its that time again. We need to pick our fearless leader for the next few years. Let me be 100% honest, I love democracy. There literally isn't a better system, what I don't like is our broken democracy. Not that I don't like it actually, I think it needs tweeked. Before I start let me give you a bit of a back story on this. I saw a post on social media the other day. It was a map of the Canadian provinces. There was a line drawn between Ontario and the East with the West and the North on the other side. With the comment, until this changes nothing changes. It showed the East having 231 seats and the West and North only having 107. The implication is the East really has the power and out here we really don't matter. This is true, both the fact and the implication. Really by the time the results are in from Ontario we can usually tell our government. Ya Democracy! What got me going was someone chiming in this is fine, it is based on the population and that's how it ...

The federal election has started, longest campaign ever or some shit. Another Harper conspiracy. Just putting out there the left has nothing but conspiracies. So I am gonna quickly break down each party or at least the parties that matter! But before that lets have a quick look at the problems with our system over all. It is becoming more and more this is about people and not the parties or platforms. How can we fix that and make the federal government about the country and not the parties. I get it, I understand why we have parties but now it is becoming detrimental to our country. Do the people in my riding even know who is running? No matter who gets in now they aren't repping me. They ALL are playing hail to the chief. Wanna know who would get my vote no matter what party they were for? The person who says okay this is what MY riding wants. Not what Harper, JT, or captain Commie wants. The system is broken! All I have seen is attack ads on party leaders not on what people are...

So I have yet to win the lotto, gonna say that sucks. Still not rich and still have to go to work. Maybe it is western alienation but why are the lottos always won out east? On the flip side I cant wait till tomorrow as I  get better looking everyday! My littlest brother is moving to Edmonton next week. For his first year of University. Now I understand when people feel old. I remember the day he was born. Moving in with the ole lady and a friend. Let it be written record I don't think that is a great living arrangement. The whole third wheel thing never works. It was what I did when I moved here. When we moved apart there was some bitter feelings. But I do wish them BEST of luck and hope they end up better roomies than we were. I put that on my brother though to be a good roomie as it is more on the couple, they can make things awkward..... The biggest thing in my personal life recently is my poor puppy was sick. Canine Pancreatits. My buddy is a 1 year old blue Merle sheltie. S...
