I don't think my political leanings have changed per se, by rather my view of the political system and government in general. The older I get the less confidence I have in any government. I don't think Ottawa is any more competent than my local neighbourhood community association. The people involved at every level are little more than busy-bodies that want to have control over something. These are the same people that ran for student council in high school and thought it meant something. It doesn't. Where it all went pear shaped for me was when I started seeing people I actually knew get elected to public office. One of them federal, several provincial and in every case they were solid C students who were just concerned with being popular. None of these folks were of any substance, it was all just a show. Kind of like having a substitute drama teacher / snowboard instructor at the front of the parade.
The reality is that there is no master plan, there is no geniuses standing at the wheel...it's every many for himself.
