Now that the opposition is considering overthrowing the current minority Conservative party through a non confidence vote, one needs to look at what this means and what can we do as citizens to correct this absurd situation.
Since we arrived in this country in '77, we have experienced 10 federal elections with another possibly in the fall. That's 3 more than if we had one every 4 years, as is typical in many countries.
This translates to close to an additional billion dollars to cover these extra elections and that's not including all the hidden costs.
I know my opinion will not be popular but I believe we should be considering a 2 party system which would guarantee a 4 year term. I know the party in power could abuse this but in order to remain in power, they will have to show responsibility and keep their campaign promises.
Food for thought!

Well, thanks to a friends blog, I decided to created my own and use it as a forum to share some of my ideas, and maybe vent some of my frustrations.
