There was a time when I would rant about politics very frequently. 2010, specifically in the summer appears to be magnum opus. For many reasons, I have fallen behind and failed to publish new posts. The most pressing is frankly, a lack of drive to comment on issues. I still hold social democratic viewpoints on the issues of today. I'm upset about David Hahn's pension, Conservative prison expansion despite dropping crime levels and even the issue that started this outpost of thought - the Harmonized Sales Tax. I hold opinions on these issues, but at this stage of my life I feel unable to express them through a three or four paragraph post. I've tried many times, and failed.
At the same time, I am entering a new period of my life. It will be far different than my schedule since 1998 - that is school. If the people permit it, I will begin my career. Perhaps it is my focus on the looming election that has distracted me from provincial and federal issues. In either sense, what I am doing now is not working. The time has come for a change of direction - a fresh start if you will. I'm not ending the blog, but as opposed to solely commenting on political issues perhaps it is time we transition to a more personal experience in politics, my life.
I'm not ending the blog, but there is going to be a change. The design has been altered. In previous posts when I deliberately avoided frequent use of the word "I" to encourage your own political thoughts, now will become more commonplace. Why if you stick around long enough you may even see my personal thoughts from the campaign trail. All the worries, hopes and everything in between - all here.
The fun's just about to begin - it's time you become a part of it.
