That said, I don't like it. I've been thinking about it and realized I could sit and fume - and sit and fume a little more - or maybe I could do something about it, just a little bit.
So I've written three cheques for $200 in total. There's a $50 cheque for the New Democrats and a $50-cheque for the Liberals. Then I'm sending a cheque for $100 to the Green Party, my party of choice.
What if we all did that? Every non-Conservative. Every supporter of any opposition party. If you're a Liberal send a hundo to the LPC, and a Mackenzie King to the NDP and the Greens. And, so you Dippers don't get confused, that would be a Borden to the NDP, and a Mackenzie King to each of the Libs and Greens.
Anyone else up for this or has our partisanship become so toxic that even opposition supporters can't help other opposition supporters and our country?
Not a bad idea - I'm in. And the $200 dollars in political donations will yield a $175 tax credit.
ReplyDeletemust be nice to give any kind of money to any of those fucks. I think I'll buy food
ReplyDeleteI awoke this morning thinking along similar lines, Mound. All we want to see in the upcoming election is a fair fight. Your plan would help even the playing field.
