2006 Election

I've been quiet this election-- I've tried to put less emphasis on the importance of politics. There are just other things way more crucial to me.

But, I am fascinated by it all and am so excited that the Tories won this year. I pray that social conservatism is redefined and gains general acceptance in our society.

I stand for traditional family and moral values, smaller, less intrusive governement, freedom of choice, benefits (not punishments) for hard-working small business owners, and a careful balance of sensitive social programs.

Concerning the latter, I believe that Canada is more passionate than some countries about the government's role in social issues, and I agree that this is an important, and Christian value. I think the new conservatism must somehow embrace social welfare systems while maintaining the strong ecomomic platforms conservatives are known for.
