I have been very pessimistic about the state of Canada and Canadian attitudes for the last few months. After seeing the poll results that have the Conservatives in the lead for the first time in years, I have a faint sense of hope.
However, I still have to wonder what people are thinking when the Conservatives are ahead by 1% in the polls after Adscam, Reloscam, Income Trust, and the myriad of other charges against the governing party. I'm thinking there's alot of half empty people out there.
One of my favorite quotes:
Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. -Sir Winston Churchill.
The funny thing is, I must not have a heart. I wrote a paper in Grade 12 English about the benefits of Capitalism for my socialist teacher. I must say, I was idealistic and naive enough to think that it might make her think a little. LOL. I learned my lesson....I received the only failing grade I ever received in high school.

I love it: "half empty people". I totally agree!!!
I would say if you are under thirty and aren't an N.D.P. you don't have a heart, if you are over thirty and don't vote conservative you don't have a brain, and if you don't have a heart or a brain vote liberal.

Now THATS a good one!
