Canada federal election

Well Canadians are once again going to the polls. The dilema as always is who do we vote for, never an easy question to answer. Who do we believe, who do we trust. Promises are always made and seldom kept.
One mistake we can not make is to vote on emotion but rather vote on facts. It seems like all the parties involved have their own agendas in mind and not the best interests of Canadians, they seem to be more concerned with green programs that will raise our taxes or drive up the price of gas higher. The environment is important however should not be a political platform. Canadians need to survive financially and while I am concerned about the environment, the most important thing to me, can I pay my bills next month and drive my car to work. Cell phone rates are through the roof and the control Telus has is ridiculous, the CRTC needs to make adjustments and stop the gouging by these companies. Oil companies use the excuse of mother nature to raise gas prices while the actual price of oil is dropping.
We need a government that will stand up to the big business monopolies that are resident in this country and bring Canadians back to the ability to actually provide for our families and get a good nights sleep at the same time. When Canadians stop losing 40%-50% or more of their earnings (gst included in this) to taxes before it even hits the bank.....this is a party I will vote for-not for a green plan that taxes me further.
Mr. Harper and Mr. Dion PLEASE take the betterment of our great country to heart, and stop bickering like school children
