We are in the midst of a federal election. for our southern friends , a summary.
In Canada , our government is primarily an elected House of Commons. As of this year , elections are mandated at every 4 years.
When we vote , we are choosing a candidate of 1 of 5 parties.
4 parties are national in scope , conservative ( Republican ) , Liberal ( Democrats ) , NDP ( social party ) and the Green Party ( environmental issues ). Then there is a separatist party called the Bloc Quebecois who espouse the secession of Quebec from Federation.
The party that elects the most candidates forms the government or tries. The leader of the party in government is Prime Minister by default. Thus , we vote for a member of parliament , send a party to govern and get a PM.
My observation , if the candidate talks about it , chances are - that item has little to do w/ gov't , unless you count publicity
This present party Conservative has concentrated power out of the Prime Minister's Office , muzzled gov't scientists and reduced spending on inspection of private corporations - meat packing etc
, mostly involving safety and supply.
Ha , the Conservatives never mention this and neither do the opposition folks
Why .... b/c its important and affects all Canadians , all the time
Weather , the worm turned............. thunderstorms and humidity have arrived. unsettled is the word ... til it gets real hot and sticky
Then listen to me howl
HOWL I'm a great whiner
Ordered a flat bed truck , 4 wheel metal lattice frame , w/ a load capacity of 600 # , approx 3 1/2 ft by 2 ft
The plan , mount a box on the frame to hold dirt leaves etc w/ the option of swapping out the dirt box for a large open carryall
The price was $ 67 all in , delivered etc. Regular 120 , on sale for 60 , then tax etc
Love buying on line when they ship for free
