Discrimination on our behalf? I don’t think so
For a sense of déjà vu, look no further than the announcement earlier today about the “leader debate”. Once again, the big kids have told the little kid (in this case, the leader of the Green Party) that she is not welcome when they dress up and play important games on TV. It has nothing to do with “she”, I hope, and everything to do with a bad dose of self-importance.
Who else (besides me) even watches the great debate(s)? Even my children find other things to do. I mean, once you’ve seen Smiling Jack, there’s not much else to keep the interest level for them. No Stephane Dion to quietly mock. The Iggy and His Eyebrows joke is also getting tired.
Or is it that we’re tired of elections? How many times can the voting public stay concerned? That’s why the decision to leave Ms May on the outside looking in surprises me. At this point, I’d be looking for anything that might draw a few more eyeballs in. Oddly, it doesn’t appear to be based on the approbation of the others; there’s some sort of kangaroo court that makes the choice for the rest of us. Please, can we stop pretending that this makes sense?
The Vote Compass is getting face time on the CBC News channel, and the methodology is more sound than that robotic voice that calls me at odd times of the day. The promise is that results will be calculated and made public.
In conclusion, here’s the six year view of things from my driveway, as of this date.
