Gaming the System
Call it using a loophole, or exploiting a vulnerability – it’s all just another way to “game the system”.

The Rest of the Story
I pay attention to all leadership races, because I believe sometimes it’s more important to vote for the leader instead of the party. After all, the world needs more leaders. I find myself aligned with a lot of the values of the NDP party even though I don’t traditionally vote NDP, but I consider leaders…

Give Me Back My Canada!
Right before every election, I become very outspoken. So much so that many of my friends and relatives think I’m very politically involved. I’m not. I’m not even a supporter of any particular party.

When it comes to politics, I can be very clear in my opinions. That doesn’t mean that I’m not open to discussion or debate though, but sometimes I don’t think I make that clear enough. Let’s face it – I am not a political expert and I know I often disagree without necessarily knowing all the…
