Another election!

Time for another election. But what party to vote for. Do you vote for the person best for your riding or vote for the overall party? This is a decision that rests on voters mines. I myself, will vote for the party that best represents seniors issues, education and most important healthcare. I know they all spout promises, but which party will actually hold true to the promises they make? My main concern, being a care giver, is healthcare and seniors issues. Most of all is the fact that senior couples who are separated in different facilities be allowed to be together in the same room/facility. Why are the seniors denied the given right to live out their lives together? I am facing the inevitable of having to make the decision of having one or both parents live with me in order to allow them to live out the remaining years of their lives together or as close to it as possible. Why? Because there are NO facilities that allow them to live together when they each need different levels of care. So what to do? Am I reaching for the stars or is it payback for all the years they supported me.

What has to happen is to get more people out to vote and make politicians accountable for what they promise. It is my experience that the ones that complain the most are the ones that do not vote. I am in favor of bringing in the law, like in Australia, that requires you to vote. The last election was poor turn out and it is the responsibility of every citizen in the county to place a vote. If not then don't complain when things go wrong. 

Do you know who you will vote for? Be a responsible Canadian and cast your vote on election day.
