As you select your candidates, you show your morality.
Morality does not belong to a select few or it debases the actual concept that it represents.
Power must serve the vulnerable.
Power that does not is the aspiration of the corrupt.

Just an FYI - Vote well said I should vote Liberal provincially in my riding.
Why I'm not voting Liberal
1. I heard nothing from this candidate. No signs, no leaflets, no calls - nothing. #zip
2. I received mail from the NDP and Greens
3. I see NDP signs in my community
