But I still think that all the parties are to blame for making the campaign look so small, and for failing to make it more of a battle to save Canada rather than such a boutique election. The only one who has seemed remotely inspiring is Justin Trudeau...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-91131932808702113462015-10-16T09:06:23.900-04:002015-10-16T09:06:23.900-04:00hi Kathleen...I think it's only normal for any...hi Kathleen...I think it's only normal for anyone who has followed this campaign closely to be exhausted, because not only has it been long it has been ghastly. However for letting the Con candidate get away that easily, you will have points subtracted... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-72978239206421030982015-10-15T09:38:51.501-04:002015-10-15T09:38:51.501-04:00I think Rick was being careful not to appear parti...I think Rick was being careful not to appear partisan when he "tarred all the parties with the same brush.

Not much gets me 'riled up' these days........my PC candidate came to my door yesterday and I shook his hand and we chatted .......he has no idea what I was actually thinking, but I wasn't in the mood to tell him because I have nothing against him personally..........just don't like his 'boss'!<br />So, I'm guilty, Rick.Marmaladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651890655542192076noreply@blogger.com
