An election campaign should let people choose from a broad spectrum of good ideas.
\nInstead, this time, a broad spectrum of good people are having to find a way to vote against bad actions and bad ideas of a party brought to power through an out-dated system of voting.
\nThe wrongs committed by the Conservative Party are too many and too deep for a letter to the editor, but some recent books, written by scientists, economists and journalists, hint at the problems: The War on Science; The Arrogant Autocrat; Party of One; The Carbon Bubble; Unaccountable.
\nSteven Harper and his Party have fought continuously with scientists, judges and journalists – people who, by nature and training, seek truth.
\nThe point here is that, even if you like your local Conservative candidate as a person, that is not a good enough reason to vote for her or him this time.
\nIt is vital, for the health of Canada and the preservation of our values, that Harper\u2019s Reform-Conservatives be defeated. Then, true Conservatives should make every effort to take back their Party.
\nI hope that this is the last election where Canadians will have to vote strategically.<\/p>\n
