Obama is a brilliant dude, but he is no saint. It takes a very strong leader to get anything done in the current political climate. Obama may not be the person capable of reuniting the left and right, but that alone doesn't make him a bad president. On the other hand, what has he done for black people? Well, people are getting accustomed to seeing a black president and black people in power; people are beginning to appreciate that holding a prominent position as a member of a minority is no longer a distant dream, which would give encourage to more people to take a shot at the trophy. There is nothing more indicative of this fact than Obama being elected the President of United States. Being the first is always the most difficult as one has to overcome a hurdle built upon centuries of traditions and beliefs, but when time is right and once that hurdle is torn down, it gets easier for everyone else afterwards. In that regard, I think Obama has done a great deal for the black people and minorities in general.

This is the same case for Gary Mar. Honestly, conservative beliefs don't fit my cup of tea. With that being said, we are all selfish people. We want the best for our community. There may be scarcity of resources, but there is no scarcity of problems. Alberta policies are drafted with the best interest of Alberta in mind, not the well being of all provinces in Canada. Canadian policies may not be beneficial to other parts of the world, and we are happy about the way it is. When we do things on earth, we don't worry about how our actions will impact a planet light years away. All of these is because there are so many things we have to worry about, we need to prioritize our concerns. Who you vote for depends on which community you see yourself a member of, and that sets the priority. If you see yourself as a member of the Chinese community in Canada, Gary Mar is clearly the best choice available. Having him elected the premier of Alberta will be a monumental step in the growth of our community. Premier of Alberta may not be a big deal, but a victory, no matter how small it is, is a victory nonetheless. As long as Gary Mar doesn't mortally fuck up Alberta's economy(which is unlikely as he has been quite involved in government functions for quite some time, and he knows the ins and outs), we and our later generations all stand to gain from his success.

He gets my vote, and hopefully yours too. |
