In my home province the liberal government has conveniently abdicated itself of all provincial responsibility (save the flag waving and constant public money hemorrhaging towards the upcoming Olympics) The Provincial Opposition is absolutely pathetic in their constant whining, to the point that now the only thing that is clear regarding their position is that it is directly opposite to whatever the government says.
It's difficult as a Canadian to look south and see Americans embrace their leaders with an almost rock star enthusiasm. The PM visited my city a few times over the past few months and I could hardly care, the visits barely made the local papers.
What is happening?
I don't consider myself overtly conservative, nor liberal, nor progressive, nor socialist. But it doesn't seem that there is anyone out there who is a representative of me, and further to that, there doesn't seem to be a politician out there who is willing to even attempt inspiring myself or my fellow citizens in any sort of reasonable or responsible manner.
Why?
