Socialism is a form of corruption. It is really that simple.

I get the Toronto Star delivered here (left leaning), and read a bit of it every day. Coincidentally, the best part is *always* the page near the end of the first section where readers write in with their 2 cents worth. Go figure.

Then a few days ago I read a foreign written piece on our elections here, from a conservative financial perspective. It was a bit eye opening, moreso than the local coverage.

It made me think that my own values are aligned with who the right are supposed to be, however the party who purports to represent those ideologies here are the Conservatives, whose actions I rarely ever agree with.

I think the problem we have in Canada right now as far as parties and elections go is that we have 2 left leaning parties and one far, far right wing party, whereas most Canadians would feel best served by a slightly right of center leaning government.

The foreign written article had a banker in Toronto quoted as saying that if the NDP wins, the dollar would go into a freefall as investors would de-leverage themselves from Canadian holdings. A great example of how conservative/business governments can threaten and enact vengeance on voters, and how the businesses play politics to ensure they get their guy in power.

So if Socialism is a form of corruption, then what's spending ~35 billion dollars on fighter planes that no other country will buy (india just said they're buying with a European firm the other day) and putting up a network of prisons we don't need, also at many more tens of billions of dollars? That's corruption too.

Where can I vote against that? They're just not representing the wishes of Canadians.
