Yesterday,
Canada underwent a major transition decision.
The Conservative Party defeated the Liberals in power.
Now, it is not a secret how I feel about the government of Canada.
I have expressed most of it here somewhere in my archives.
This was one of the major factors why we moved I got convinced to move to the States.
Although, I must admit,
as much as I hate the “shortcomings” of that government.
This new one scares the bejebbeez out of me.
But what do I know?
I didn’t even vote.
Even though I could have registered as an Out-Of-Country voter,
It was raining yesterday so it was impractical for me to go out and exercise my right.
You see,
Canada implements a Parliamentary rule,
so understanding how the government runs, can be quite confusing.
I am not even clear on where I stand with the government parties.
I may be Liberal at times,
but I sometimes see a Conservative plan of action.
On top of it all, I yearn for a better Reform.
I don’t know.
I can still feel the painful memory of my tax money gone to waste.
And every time I remember all the corruptions and red tape,
it blurs out all the hope and optimism I have left.
i was surprised that you feel the same a lot of pinoys feel about the philippines. such disillusionment is not limited to third world countries lang pala.
as for me, i won’t give up hope. we’re very resilient – us pinoys. i guess i’m still an optimist – i still believe that things will eventually turn out better for our country. after all, i’ve been to places where the situation is much much worse than ours.
