A sad day

I remember a promise being made...one that promised to eliminate the debt and not increase taxes. Seems pretty good doesn't it? Unfortunately that money has to come from somewhere...where did it come from? Education...healthcare...they were slashed and mutilated by the Klein government all for the good of the economy. And people saw what was happening but what happens? Do they use their power of the vote to boot Kleins governemt from power? No! they didn't, instead they let themselves be bought by juicey rebate checks and more promises. And what do we get in return? Deregulated power, my own Father works for EPCOR and he thinks it's the worst thing that could've been done...it didn't work for other places...what makes him think that it could work for us? Of course then he goes and sells our provincial "soul" to the coperate devil. What with allowing the oil companies to have their ways just so long as they pump more money into the economy...

I'm proud to say that I voted NDP, as did my entire household. Not one of us would be caught dead voting for Klein or his government, especially after he made an idiot of himself in the leaders debate. I'm ashamed that i'm Albertan on this day...ashamed that i live in a province that has the collective memory of a goldfish. A province that after 11 years of being screwed over by Klein, they still re-elect him. It's a sad day for alberta...a sad day indeed.
