Vote for the Man

Who wants to vote Liberal? How about Conservative? The NDP could do the job? There are three main parties yet which one will have the job. This is honestly the toughest job interview I could possibly imagine. My words today come from what we commonly call a ‘reality check’.

While Paul Martin was recently campaigning in B.C. he was speaking with Dan Muzyka the chair of the Board of trade on the economy. (see bottom of article) There were some friendly jokes and then the fired up Dan Muzyka blasted the Liberals record on crime. Quoting Statistics Canada Muzyka said “Canada had a higher violent crime rate than the United States, and asked Martin what his government would do about it.”

Instantly this sends off buzz signals in the brain…Canada more violent than the US!? I can hardly believe that for a moment so to set the record strait the official Statistics Canada quote is found Here. Now whether I support Mr. Martin or not I would certainly like to take this opportunity to sympathize with the man and all these fired up persons that pull statistics out of their butts.
