Liberals in power again...and I don't care!
Another election has just recently ended with a victory for the Liberals and I did nothing to contribute to the democratic process. Which is quite ironic considering that my program of study is Political Science. Honestly, I could be studying chemical engineering, quantum physics, or Yiddish and I would not care for the result of this election. It seems to me that pretty much every party in question makes all sorts of promises in order to get into power. Improve health care, cut taxes, create new jobs, lower tuition, legalize this, outlaw that, etc. Since I still live with my parents and don't get sick too often, the issue that's going to impact me the most are tuition fees. Every party promises to reduce tuition yet it is increasing every year and shows no signs of decreasing. If it ever decreases, I'll be long done school and will be busy paying off OSAP before the interest kills me. So yeah, I'm indifferent to the whole election process. Not that I have anything against our government, it seems to be doing a good enough job without being too corrupt/evil. I just don't care much for elections since it doesn't do much for me. And I'm not alone either, apparently this year's election was an all time record low at 52.6%. (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ontariovotes2007/story/2007/10/11/ov-turnout-071010.html)
