Hello, everybody!
 
I, too am a Canadian, and I confess that I am rather torn by the  
political realities unfolding both here and in the "Excited States".  
Our election is in a few weeks and as stated here, the "race" if it  
really will be one, is between the old-guard, pork-barrel style  
politics of the Liberal ruling party and a one-man-band Prime Minister  
versus a young, charismatic Born-again right-winger. Now, as a former  
hockey player, I realize that a strong team needs both right wingers  
and left wingers with an intelligent Centre:-)...
 
As an outside observer to US politics, it astounds me that so many  
people there would vote for a change when you are in the midst of the  
longest bull market in history. Things are pretty good for the  
business/financial side of things. I don't like the prospects of  
having to line up for hours at the border and having to sign an  
affadavit of some kind just to visit my friends who have taken their  
stock options and flown south! (You see, taxes are the talk of the  
town here, too, but we are REALLY paying too much...)All to have our  
version of Bill Clinton's "Kinder, Gentler America" - as our PM once  
said "It's called Canada..."
 
Until the Bush fiasco prompted  a deeper look, I was seriously  
thinking that we too need a change. But the old religious right agenda  
scares the heck out of me, so, as I said, I'm feeling a bit torn...
 
I'm praying for a favorable recount in Florida, and wish you all the  
best! It seems that we rarely have a choice that's not the lesser of  
two evils...
 
Regards,
 
Terry
