    For Everyone Who Cares about Canada
    To:

    For those of you who haven't been keeping up with Canadian politics,
    this
    message is very important. Please take the time to read this because the
    results of the upcoming federal election will ultimately affect us all.

    I'm sure many of you have seen Stockwell Day in the Canadian Alliance
    Reform commercials preaching about respect for "all Canadians." Yet Mr. Day
    seems to think that women should not have the right to decide what's best
    for themselves or for their families. His extreme views were confirmed when
    he openly supported a move to ban provincial medical funding for abortions,
    including those deemed medically necessary?that includes cases of RAPE and
    INCEST.

    Mr. Day also opposed the inclusion of sexual orientation in Alberta's
    Human
    Rights Legislation. Does he mean that gays and lesbians are not to be
    considered human? Members of his Canadian Alliance Reform Party candidly
    accuse gays and lesbians of being deviants. Myron Thompson, a member the
    Canadian Alliance Reform Party went so far as to say publicly that he "hates
    homosexuality."

    As well, Mr. Day states that neither he nor his party will support
    multiculturalism in Canada. In other words, Mr. Day is against womens'
    rights, against gays and lesbians and against ethnic diversity. These
    displays of discrimination by the Canadian Alliance Reform Party clearly
    contradict Mr. Days?commercial preaching of respect for "all Canadians."

    There was another politician in history with similar opinions on
    treating
    people differently based on class and social groups. Tolerance and
    acceptance for this politicians' extreme views later led to the death of
    over 6 million innocent men, women and children.

    Not only is the Canadian Alliance Reform Party discriminating based on
    cultural groups, but it's also judging Canadians by region ?those provinces
    west of Alberta, and those east of Alberta. A prominent member of the
    Canadian Alliance, John Mykytyshyn, tried to explain the reason as to why
    there was poor support for the Canadian Alliance Reform Party by the
    provinces east of Alberta. He stated that, "The simple reason is that
    eastern provinces believe in handouts and "give me a cheque for doing
    nothing.""

    Stockwell Days?views are those of an ignorant bigot. In addition to
    his
    open discrimination towards cultural minorities, Stockwell Day endorses
    policies that cater only to the high-income upper-crust society.
    Privatizing hospitals and schools, and his two-tiered medical care system
    will ensure that the wealthy will receive the best service and that the
    middle and lower classes will receive only what they can afford. If you
    look closely at the fine print on Stockwell Days?commercial about Canadians
    saving $4500 if he is elected, you'll see that it says these savings are
    only applicable to people with incomes over $60,000. I would think that
    it's the people with lower incomes, not higher incomes, that need that extra
    money.

    With all this propaganda, it's often difficult to distinguish
    truth from
    fiction. There's a lot more that can be said about the hypocrisy of Mr. Day
    and his Canadian Alliance Reform Party, but I wouldn't be able to list it
    all in this e-mail. So, please make the effort to learn about the competing
    Party's and their platform. The Canadian Alliance riding is now dangerously
    close to becoming Canada's opposition party. Please get out there and vote
    this Nov. 27th and make sure Stockwell Day and his discriminatory policies
    and beliefs will not taint the Canadian tradition of freedom and liberty.

    By the way, here's a really good website (you may have seen articles
    about
    it in the papers) you can check out if you want to know more about the
    Canadian Alliance Reform Party.

    Please forward this message to everyone you know to get the
    word around.

    Thanks,

      After reading Yanping's message, I have some thoughts to share with you.

      I don't mind seeing some educational and informative material here as far as
      it's not becoming campaign ground.

      I support Yanping's initiative of getting involved within election system.
      Everyone who lives here cares about his or her room, house, and certainly
      this country - Canada. I encourage all eligible voters to excise your voting
      right. As a minority like you and myself in this country, we do need to
      stand up, address our issues and concerns, and elect our representatives in
      the government in order to be better served.

      As an undecided voter, I know what I expect from the government. I only need
      to see who is fitting into the profile with greater vision, concrete data
      and complete plan.

      In reality, none of the candidates are perfect to meet all expectation. I
      will still go out to vote for even a slightly better one. The reason is
      simple. If you don't vote, you can't complain.

      The good places to read what each party promotes are the OFFICIAL web sites
      they created.

      Canada has been a good place for living. Future is in your hands by all
      means.


      With best regards to all fellows,
