Three hundred million dollars that’s what it costs to hold a federal election and when you add the cost of provincial and municipal elections the cost to tax payers is enormous. We’ve had 3 Federal elections since 2004. That’s 900,000,000 dollars. There are also other costs for example if you drive to the polling station to vote you pay for the fuel to get there and add more pollution to the air.

I am often pleased that average Canadians are progressive in the views on many issues. I am equally disappointed on how out of touch Canadian politicians are with their own citizens. I’m also distressed that they don’t work together to provide good government. They waste time acting worst than children by insulting each other and yelling at each other. Then they run to the press and tell us how bad the other MP’s are to them. No wonder no one wants to vote.

It’s March and tax time is here again. Don’t you just hate tax time! I know that used properly taxes are beneficial. For all it’s flaws we have a a health care system that everyone can access with out losing your home. We also benefit from having a fire and police service, food inspection, water, sewage treatment waste removal and so on.
