Some very important decisions will be made in the next two months on both sides of the border. Yessiree, elections are coming to both Canada and the US. So who are you going to vote for and how did you come to that decision? If you don’t know who you’re going to vote for yet, how are you going to decide?
Well, you can definitely (and should) look at each party’s platform on the issues like the economy, education, health care, job creation, tax increases/decreases, etc. Those are absolutely important factors in deciding who you vote for, but I challenge you to look at more. The aforementioned issues really only deal with our own country. What about the rest of the world? And I’m not just talking about foreign policies/relations. What about AIDS? What about poverty? What about all the injustices in the world? As one of the wealthiest and most powerful nations in the world, we have a responsibility to those countries in need. Our leader must be one who is committed to this responsibility and acts on it. Not only should he/she look out for our country’s best interest, but also the world’s.
So when it comes time to cast your ballot, I hope everyone will consider not only the domestic issues, but also the world issues.
