final stretch!

[Meadowlands]

So the final stretch is upon us!
Last week, I had anticipated that the conservatives were in a decent position to win though since the NDP's pro niqab stance, many lefties had jumped over to the Turd bandwagon.

This is looking too close for comfort.

I hope that everyone serious about this election will go out and vote, and hopefully vote for Stephen Harper. He is the only serious candidate.

I have been working work within my circles but it seems that people put more emotion into the next episode of (whatever ppl watch these days) than into choosing our next PM.

With that said, I hope Canadians vote for the best candidate!

Please encourage friends and family to use your vote and give another conservative election win!

Don't forget that you can also vote at one of the early polls as well. I'll be voting at an early polling station this Friday.

Election day is also opening day for the moose hunt in Central Ontario so take advantage of the advance poll in your area if you are going to be away hunting.

The Conservatives are in the lead with seat count polling based on 308.com but it's still very much a horse race and Trudough could very well pull it off. Also if Harper can't get a majority ( most likely ) then my guess is a coalition takes him down on first confidence vote.

Who knows.
AT peaked early and like most socialist wants the world, promises the world without any real substance.
JT is a naïve fool who has done nothing life. You'd think Ontarians would by now see the prices paid for that.
SH is competent but not without his faults, and.....he's long in the tooth. People do tire of them regardless.

There's another lesson to be learned here in Ontario and that's the prices that get paid by apathy ( not caring about Politics) and how by not voting, you enable not only politicians, but dynamics such as buying the Unions, and controlling just small area's......

The ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER This one is a little different. Two Different Versions. Two Different Morals. OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his House, and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and Plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food Or shelter, so he dies out in the cold. MORAL OF THE OLD STORY: Be responsible for yourself! MODERN VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, Building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and Plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and Demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed While he is cold and starving. CBC, CTV, Global and City TV show up to provide pictures of the Shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable Home with a table filled with food. Canada is stunned by the sharp Contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on CBC News with Peter Mansbridge along with The grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.' People Against Poverty stages a demonstration in front of the ant's House where the news stations film the group singing, We Shall Overcome. Then Justin Trudeau has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake. Kathleen Wynne condemns the ant and blames Prime Minister Harper, Former Premier Mike Harris, Bill Davis, Joe Clarke, Harold Ballard, And Conrad Black for the Grasshopper's' plight. Justin Trudeau and Scott Brison explain in an interview with Wendy Mesley that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper And both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his Fair share. Finally, the Provincial Liberal/NDP coalition drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the Summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green Bugs and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes; his home is Confiscated by the New Ontario Governments Green Czar, Dalton McGuinty, And given to the grasshopper. The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends Finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government House he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old House, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow never to be seen again. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the House, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize And ramshackle the once prosperous and peaceful neighbourhood. The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it. MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in the next election I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant! You may wish to pass this on to other ants, but don't bother sending It on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn't understand it, anyway.

Sad but true. And you are definitely right on the not understanding part of it.
