Do you think any child has ever said,
“Mommy, Daddy, I want to be an embalmer.” I doubt it. What about becoming a
sewage plant worker? Do you think any kid has ever expressed an inclination for
that profession? Why do you do what you do?
It
scares me to consider the motivations of many current politicians. I can’t
remember the last time a Canadian politician impressed me—I mean truly
impressed me.
Think about it: To run in an election you
either must be an incumbent or unemployed (or willing to quit your job). And
what kind of person would choose to represent a constituency when
“representation” means speaking to
the electorate from the party instead
of from the electorate to the party? These guys quit their jobs
to become mouthpieces of organizations whose sole purpose seems to me to be to
retain power.
I feel compelled to vote today for an incumbent
with a lengthy history of non-accomplishment—to represent the central core of
Canada’ second largest city. I will be voting for a non-thinker only because of
what she is not (Conservative) instead of what she is (an empty vessel).
