Good Morning
Well it’s Election Day. Before the polls close this evening and the ballots are counted, I wanted to thank everyone on Facebook for your likes, your shares and your words of encouragement
There has been a lot said and a lot promised by the Liberals and the NDP in this election.
In your heart of hearts, you know they can’t deliver on what they are promising.
If you have voted Conservative in the past but you’re looking for a reason not to this time around, you won’t have a hard time finding one. The media has reported endlessly on each of our failings, perceived or otherwise, while extolling the necessity for generational change.
Justin Trudeau is 43. Stephen Harper is 56. Thirteen years does not a generation make.
This election should not be about change or age. It should be about ability, experience and proven leadership and on that score Stephen Harper should be your clear choice.
Stephen Harper is absolutely right when he says, “If you don’t get the economy right, nothing else matters.” It’s as true in government as it is in your home. If you’ve been burdened by overwhelming debt and heavy interest payments you know the stress and strain that puts on your family, your freedom and your ability to enjoy life to its fullest.
This is the road Justin Trudeau will take Canada down. Living for today at the expense of our future is never, never, never good economic policy and make no mistake that is EXACTLY what he will do.
We’re not perfect. But if perfection is your standard there is already more than ample evidence that shows you are going to be disappointed by the other guys.
Before you vote today, I want to encourage you to weigh your decision carefully, thoughtfully and with due dispassion. Make your decision, not on what’s best for you, but based on what’s best for Canada, and for your children’s future and your children’s children’s future.
It has been my honour to serve as your MP these past 91/2 years. Thank you for your support.
Today I ask you once again to re-elect me Bev Shipley as your Member of Parliament t for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex.
All the best,
Bev
Ken Filson, Liberal
Today is the day! Don’t forget to vote for Real Change! I look forward to seeing all of you at our celebration tonight at Crabby Joe’s, 323 Caradoc Street, Strathroy.
Rex Isaac, NDP
I need to take a moment to thank all of you that believe, all of you that supported, all that have volunteered.
You are all winners. We have all put everything we have into making our world better. You have put your faith behind me, as your Candidate. In just a few hours we will see the fruit of our labour.
None of this would be possible without all of you. I am humbled to be honoured with all you have given. You are my friends, in every sense of the word. And the world, for me, is a better place. Just for having the opportunity to share all that we have.
Miigwetch
Rex
Jim Johnston, Green
