So yes, it’s friday ladies and gentlemen… and yes, I’m here in Waterloo. However, I may return to Toronto for some clubbing and then come back on Saturday— maybe.

Anyways.. I had an exciting trip at Bechtel Park today for my ecology class, well, it wasn’t all that exciting… Me and my lab partner Martina had to analyze the ground cover— have find and classify vegetation, analyze sunlight intensity and crap… ARGH ARGH…

i have been a very diligent boy, did not go out at all. have been doing coop job searching and resumes.. and trying to start my city model project.. argh.. argh.. now time is definitely flying by (psst: september is almost over)

okay.. lets get to politics. i find politics very very interesting…. i was watching friends (season premiere, YAY) and i’ve noticed their intersting commercials.. the emphasis on strong marketing lingos is definitely worth commending… powerful, short and sweet— “Choose Change” and “Public Power”… i like it.

let’s talk about the candidates.

Ernie Eves & the PC Party:
Despite his creepy, evil appearance, I have to say, the conservative government stuck to their promise— I suppose. They cut taxes, tried to make efficient but yet cost-saving tactics, and helped strengthen our economy. Sure, people say he fucked up in public education, in health care and other social services, but you know what? It’s our spoiled, fucked up teachers who really need to get a life.. they should stop going shopping during class time, they should stop complaining about raises, they should stop striking in the name of “our children”.. kiss my ass.

The bottom line is: (Though as some costs) they stuck to their promises.

Dalton McGuinty & the Liberal Party:
Doesn’t he look like the most conventional W.A.S.P. Canadian? Very neutral looking. Anyways… i really don’t see the Liberals taking a leadership stand. With all these controversies that the party has some platforms almost exact with the PCs (tho they continue complain and blame the Tories). I basically see the Liberal party similar to McGuinty’s facial characteristics: neutral (but he manages to blame, blame and blame some more).

Bottom line: No strong leadership stance, can’t seem to decide how they wanna go about.

Howard Hampton & the NDP:
Taking the Leftist, more controlled economic approach, there is definitely a stronger support for the NDPs. They have a strong direction to bring resources back to the public sector (e.g. Power, More Public Housing) and bringing our needs back to the people. They’ve made great progess, but they definitely won’t be the lead party.

Bottom Line: Great public power strategy, but don’t stand a chance.

Markham Residents:
I strongly discourage your vote with Tony Wong (Liberal). Being our regional councillor, I wrote a letter to him regarding the serious isses of traffic and safety at Pacific Mall, and still has not replied back to me. Is that the kind of M.P.P. you’re looking for? I hope not. So, vote PC, re-elect Dave Tsubouchi!

I will be voting here in Waterloo, I’m not here to sway any votes, but i think you know who I will be voting. :D
