We have received a lot of snow here on the Sunshine Coast and, depending upon the type of vehicle you have, you may have been snowed in for awhile - an important reminder to keep a few extra supplies on hand just in case.
It's been a tough time for retailers, too, as shoppers were already contemplating cutting back on buying presents this year and then the snow kept them from shopping at all.
But throughout it all we have been snowed under with rhetoric from Ottawa, each of the parties claiming they represent "real" democracy and claiming to be the ones that earned the bona fide confidence of the voters.
And what do we, the voters, want - we want them to stop posturing and claiming precedence and practice real leadership in dealing with the economic situation - now!
One party accuses the others of making a "power grab" and then, itself, appoints 18 senators and a supreme court justice without any opportunity for consultation or confirmation citing the need for speed. Looks like consolidating power to me.
The area in which we needed speed was the economy, not the appointments to the enate. Seems priorities have gotten reversed - from my perspective.
