The future and the gomery report

How will or future change?

The gomery Report:

These latest findings that have been posted on websites, newspapers and magazines worldwide regarding the Gomery inquiry will no doubt directly affect the future of Canada’s political system. Our own ruled system of democracy will change with regards to which political group is voted in. The findings of Justice Jean Gomery will make the voting turn-out and future be placed in the hands of the voters. The media will present the findings which will directly affect the general public.
In regards to the timing of the inevitable election, it seems that this decision is turning into an absurd debate that is highlighted everywhere by the media. The timing of whether or not the election should occur over the “Christmas season” or the early following spring is turning into a bigger issue than the reason for the election itself.
Many people see that having an election sooner than later would put the defending groups at a disadvantage because impending results and findings are still being discovered and talked about. Some see it as only being fair to wait for the next set of findings to be released to the public before an election should be held. I find this reason to be relatively fair, but in turn it also lengthens the amount of waiting time the taxpayers of this country must feel kept in the dark.
In regards to the election being held over the Christmas holidays, I find this top be an imprudent reason. More than half of the religions in Canada don’t celebrate the Christmas holiday.

If findings were substantial enough to call an election, and the government of Canada actually delayed it until the following spring because of one holiday and the day it covers, there is not much respect for the minority groups and their values.
The Liberal party and all of its members are indeed going to be viewed differently for many years to come. I think that they deserve to be scrutinized against based on the findings that have been presented. It is indeed part of human nature to make mistakes and hopefully learn from them, but this ‘mistake’ made by the liberals and quite possibly our own formal prime minister are more than substantial. This scandal had direct involvement from the Liberals and they shouldn’t try to hide that. It is their fault if they have cast a shadow over their party.
If I had a chance to vote, I would vote for the conservative party because of the stance they have taken against the Liberals and because of the strategies of resolution Steven Harper has proposed.
