Lesser of Two Evols: A Political Post
I’m going to caveat this post. This post probably hasn’t been written for anyone but myself. I have been having trouble wrapping my brain around the recent Canadian political events and I just needed to write down some of my thoughts and feelings about the whole thing. While I’m not completely politically savvy - most of my political leanings come from a place of common sense (well, my common sense anyway), but I do enjoy talking politics (especially with my Dad). But this whole thing has left me a bit worn-out. So likely, a lot of this might not make much sense. 
And of course, this is really not an art post at all.
In recent days, there has been a lot of talk about the potential coalition government that the Liberals and the NDP are hell-bent on forming. And while the idea of deposing the current Conservative government would make me ecstatic, I think this coalition leaves a super bad taste in my mouth. Like super bad.
Canadians just went to the polls about six weeks ago. And like it or not, we did elect a minority Conservative government. And while we are a parliamentary democracy (where the Opposition has every right to pull this maneuver), this really just feels like a power grab to me and the Opposition are just using the current economic/financial crisis as an excuse. I would prefer that the Conservatives were disposed honestly and by the will of the Canadian people. Fair play and all that. So, although it would be the shits for our taxes, I think I would prefer another election over this shit.
