Ready, Steady, Elect!

Against his original law, Stephen Harper has decided to hold an early federal election come October 14th. It will pit the conservatives against the liberals.
In past years, I can openly admit that I never voted for any party other than the liberals. This time round, the thought is inconceivable. Stephane Dion is, in a word, shifty.
His reactionary style to the leadership of Harper is hard to fathom. He speaks constantly about creating a greener nation and family values. Yet, the biggest gray cloud that looms over the liberal party is their ideas on the economy and increasing taxes. As a Canadian first but a Quebecer nonetheless, I am skeptical to trust the under dog, which clearly Dion is. And let's face it, you can't really understand a single word the man says!
It's hard to trust him, in that, he's a known separatist, which has always made any Anglo Quebecers very nervous. I'll always be under the assumption that he's got a hidden agenda. I don't believe in his politics and although he says a lot, it all sounds like a lot of filibustering to me.
