We are in the midst of a political crisis, people.6 weeks ago we spent roughly $300 million on an election that landed us in the same position we were already in. This election represented the lowest turnout of voters since the 1800s. This election left us with virtually the same parliamentary make up as before, with the same Prime Minister.Less than two months after this wasteful display, the losing leaders have decided to form a coalition and attempt to oust Prime Minister Harper from his position. There are three possible outcomes here:1. The coalition will be successful in convincing the Governor General to oust Harper and replace his government with the government of the coalition, with Dion (who is in the midst of losing his leadership of the liberal party) as its head.2. The coalition will be successful in ousting Harper, but the Governor General will call an election, rather than replace the old government with the coalition government. Costing us another $2-300 million.3. Somehow they will all figure out how to get along, and actually start governing rather than playing political games.It seems we are headed toward outcome #1.The prospect of a coalition government ousting an elected government and replacing it bothers me. For a number of reasons.Our democracy is already showing signs of failure. Low voter turnout, campaigns based on mud-slinging and attack ads rather than the issues, no strong and charismatic leaders in any of the parties, back-room deals… Continue reading

However hard we may try or how much ever careful we may drive, we all still end up being involved in an accident at some point of time in our life.

Having auto insurance in place can take out a significant amount of stress from the whole situation. At least you won’t have to worry about the hefty auto repair bills.Whenever you meet with an accident, the primary matter to focus upon must be the well being of the passengers. Once the passengers are taken care of, you must report the incident to the police, to get further assistance in the matter of claiming the damages.Thereafter, get in touch with the auto insurance people, who’ll send their executive to assess the whole situation and help you to file a claim.
