These days, on the news, I keep hearing all the parties saying, B次元官网网址淭his is an election about the economy.B次元官网网址�

Hello? ThatB次元官网网址檚 what the previous elections were about.  Seems to me our elections have been highjacked by the economy B次元官网网址� but Canadians keep saying thatB次元官网网址檚 not what itB次元官网网址檚 about.

What this is really about is life. Life is about life, not money. Money is a tool used in the living of oneB次元官网网址檚 life. WhatB次元官网网址檚 living, is people. So what this is all about is people.

Elections are about politics. Once the politics B次元官网网址� the policies B次元官网网址� are determined, then you turn to your box of tools and decide how best to use those tools to fulfill the goals set out in your policies.

Our so-called political system has abrogated responsibility to the people and has put the cart before the horse. Democracy is for the people and Canadians sense the government is no longer about the people, for it is now just about money.

Canadians, having a proper government dangled enticingly before them and constantly unable to get one, turn obsessively, compulsively, and self-damagingly to elections about the economy.
