Earn my vote

September 23, 2015 · 0 Comments

After being in business for more than 34 years, I absolutely know that if I went into meet a new potential client, and my opening lines were something to the effect of “Here is why you should not hire companies A, B and C,” I bet I wouldn’t last five minutes before being asked to leave their offices.
I need to, and it is expected that I am going to, show them what I bring to the table, or what I can do to make them look good and earn their trust to hire me. And it must be with realistic data on things that I have proven work and I can do, not pie in the sky unrealistic and hypothetical promises.
Last time I checked, I don’t think it is federal Conservatives we are seeing on TV overseas beheading people, so wanna-bee political people out campaigning, please don’t call this Harper’s War. And because we are also seeing world wide financial instability, please don’t refer to this as Harper’s Recession.
I have never been sitting on the fence more than I am now, as I have not seen one thing that would earn my vote, from any party. In fact the most resourceful person I have seen so far is Elizabeth May and her Green party, but they are too small to form a real government just yet.
Please stop the mud slinging. We saw enough of that from Doug Ford. Please tell us what you can do for us. Earn our votes with real, sustainable measures that we can implement and afford. Because anybody, even Homer Simpson, could keep mentioning some of the current day issues all countries are experiencing, then blame their competition.
We have the best banking systems in the world and are one of the best places to live in the world. How about ethical and honest politicians, or can those words never be used in the same sentence?
Please think outside the box, be a trend setter, break the patterns of late, and earn my vote.
