The problem with the upcoming election (in Canada)

In two weeks there will be a federal election in Canada, and frankly I'm stumped. I'm no politician, however I'm aware of certain things and I have a relatively good head on my shoulders.

Let me explain:

In my area, the candidates are flawed, all of them, and as follows:

Meilli Faille is flawed simply because she is presenting herself for the wrong party, she has been a terrific elected official for the last two years or so, she is ever present on the local newspapers, she does all the right appearances and has worked for us. But she is the candidate for the Bloc Quebecois, a political party which is not only fascist by its nature, but it has run out its useful life and frankly, should be disbanded or at the very least, in a marketing move, renamed.

Michael Fortier is flawed because although I was initially sympathetic to the Conservative party, I have disliked the way they insist in presenting our circonscription with people who have no link whatsoever with our community. In other words, this guy is a gringo.

Brigitte Legault is also flawed for the same reasons as her Conservative counterpart above, whe have no fucking idea who the hell she is, what she's done before and what she's likely to do for us if she's elected.

Of course the same goes for Maxime Heroux-Legault.

So we're left with the fucking green party and some Frenchie named Jean-Yves Massenet, which really means that on election day, I'll probably stay home and vote for myself, for I refuse to vote for some guy named Jean-Yves.

Really, what the fuck are they thinking? Incidentally, I really home Marc Garneau is defeated again, he's not a politician for Christ's sake, he's a fucking astronaut!

We might as well elect the Pillsbury Doughboy.
