One side note, if there is something that pisses me off about all candidates it's been the total disregard towards aboriginal affairs to date.
People think they had a bad childhood, try growing up on a reserve, It's a miracle any of those kids turn out to be functional.

You are not the norm Jason. I have a tremendous amount of respect for you based on the path you took. I know you worked your ass off to get to where you are, but say your true interests lied within the medical profession? Social work? Without being willing to essentially write off successful financial living until you are 35-40 due to student loans, or having someone to pay your way, its simply not happening.

My belief is that people keep voting for change because they see politicians as the only route for change when change actually comes from within the people themselves.

You work in porn multi. I have no problem with it, but there is a certain moral compass most people have that wouldn't be able to make their money that way.

Thats not even close to true. Post secondary is not accessible to everyone by any stretch of the imagination. Not to mention the irresponsibility caused by our for profit education system that pumps out tens of thousands of graduates for fields with no jobs. Moderate socialism is working extremely well in the countries that always are at the top of livability and happiness levels for its citizens. Why is it so out of the question that it will work here? Denmark, Sweden, etc. haven't just become a place for the lazy to relax while the hard working rich support them.
