This Election Just Got A Whole Lot More Simple
I moved about a year and a half ago, I didn’t even know what federal electoral district I was now in. Well the writ officially dropped today so I found out as I was applying to work in the election. It turns out I’m in Vancouver South.
Prior to this discovery I had no idea which party to vote for. I was unimpressed with the Liberals overall but I disagreed with the NDP on a few key issues. No party was drawing me in so it was going to come down to the individual candidates.
Anyways, I live in Ujjal Dosanjh’s riding so case closed. It’s not just his former provincial NDP status, or even the fact that I thought he was a great Premier (the first ever to participate in the gay pride parade), or the fact that I’ve met the man several times and had chances to discuss some issues and found him to be intelligent, well reasoned, and selfless. I agree with his policies and during the leadership race he supported Bob Rae as I did, so a vote for Ujjal is not entirely a vote for Dion.
I’m not yet clear on whether or not I’ll donate to his campaign as there is still much to consider on that front but I know who I’m voting for.
