Election Results

    



     Well, I was quite disappointed in the election result. I was thinking, at the very most, that Justin Trudeau would get a minority vote. What good have the Liberals done to our country? So far, not much. In fact, Stephen Harper was the best Prime Minister Canada has ever had. In this post, I hope to engage everyone in some critical thinking:
  1. No matter what a leader promises, there are often more pressing issues at hand than the ones they have promised, so it may take a little longer - or not at all - to deal with lesser problems.
  2. Many political parties, even the most scrupulous ones, can promise anything to be elected. It doesn't mean they are "the one" to rule the country.
  3. Noone should tell the government how to govern if they have not been in the seat themselves. For all you know, the government may be dealing with a highly secret discovery that will threaten the country ( I know that example is a little extreme, but how does anyone know?)
  4. People who did not vote have no right to complain.
  5. What did Stephen Harper do to have a sudden cause for complaint?! 
     Look at the Liberals, who want to legalize marijuana and brothels. I understand the purpose for legalizing brothels, but, as a Christian, I am still very strongly against it. Marijuana, even if it would be for extreme medical cases only (which I am very sure is not the case) it would probably get into the hands of the wrong people; besides, what type of governor would want to bring its citizens to harm?



*I was not very happy with the federal election results; however, it makes me even more thankful to be in the riding where the Conservatives have still prevailed and the riding of my church has, once again, been elected Conservative.*

So True

 
I guess I am sort of sentimental, but this saying really caught my eye.
I think it's true, don't you?

Today...

 
 
 
Yes, I voted.
 
Why?
 
  • I believe it is the duty as citizens of this country to vote. Voting is a privilege. There are many people who do not have the choice of their government.
  • Even one vote can make a difference - one more vote can change the government from Liberal to Conservative.
  • We need Godly people and people who are best suited to run a country to be our Prime Minister.
  • God has given us this country. We would like it that the country is run the way God would like it to be run.
 
     Unfortunately, there are many people who do not wish to vote, and the government often gets passed into the hands of the wrong people. We are all waiting anxiously for the results, at the moment. The next couple of hours could mean change for the whole country or a minority vote for Conservative.

Counting My Blessings

There are so many blessings God has given us to be thankful for. Aside from a home, clothing, food, health, we have:
  •  Bibles - there are many countries whose government does not allow them, or they are not readily available.
  •  A church - many people in the world cannot worship openly, or they may not have enough money to build one.
  • A converted preacher - many churches nowadays, even in the modern, free countries, do not have a preacher who was called to be one, and in some countries, they may not have any preachers at all.
  • School - many people, especially in the third-world countries, cannot afford to go to any school, particularly higher education, and if they do, it is a great privilege.
  • Work - one must work to be sane in this world.
  • A free country - it is a great privilege that I can work and live in this country where I don't have to watch what I say, where I can believe what I believe without punishment, where healthcare is readily available, where schooling is not completely regulated, where I am protected for all those reasons.
  • Nature - I can enjoy God's creation. This country is not all built up with urban areas everywhere.
That is already all a substantial list.

Didn't God just make the most beautiful colours for Fall?!
