Crazy Dream

I usually have really cool dreams. But every once and I while I have one that I just have to share with everyone. This morning I had one of those:
So it starts off with me being at Wasaga beach with a group of people I don’t know. It’s a cloudy day, and the water is very wavy. Looking around, I notice that among the dozen or so people with me is Jack White, from the White Strips. I said to his sister (who was also there), “hey, that’s Jack White!” She said no, that his real name was -----, I don’t remember the name she gave me. So, I was like, okay whatever.
Then, the tide started coming in, and we realised that it was getting dangerous. Some guy came running towards us in a real hurry. He told us that the water had flooded his whole property, and to look and see for ourselves. So I did, and there above the waterline was ground, with water rushing off it (dreams defy the laws of nature). We started running up the hill of the beach, which lead down to lower ground. We kept running and then, we saw the water continuing to rush, and that it was now coming down the hill we had just come from. We went up another small hill, then down a steep hill to a building. We stopped there, and that is where I started getting scared. “where else can we go now?” I thought to myself. I went further into the wooden building, and found a squared staircase that went down a few floors. I went down a floor and heard spooky noises. I went back up and told the people that we could go down there if the water continued to come, but that there were “demons” down there. Someone said “what?” and I repeated that there were monsters down there. Anyways, we all went down a floor, and found that it connected to a big mall. While entering the mall, I noticed a guy about my age with our group. We started walking closely through the mall together. I was happy, because I didn’t feel lonely anymore, since I know had company (we might be stuck in this mall for a while). We then came to a bus stop (ya, I know that we are supposed to be inside a mall, but whatever). I went inside a shop to buy bus tickets. I bought one weeks worth, but discovered something very different about these tickets. They weren’t tickets at all, but instead, they were balloons! Those really long party balloons! And not only that, but you needed five to get on the bus, so I now had 25! They were falling and floating all over the place, as I couldn’t hang on to them all. I was so confused at this point and then I woke up.
I wish you all happy dreaming!

Learn the Parties

Hey guys and gals. So, the election is coming up, and it’s time to start reading up. How should you decide who to vote for? Well, first of all, don't believe the generalizations about them (which are nicely are pointed out in this picture to the left).
Also, you shouldn't choose based on one specific promise that they make, because they don’t have to keep any of them if they are elected.
Oh, and a big thing: Remember that you don’t vote for the party leader, just the candidate in your area. And, that person may have views that stray from the party line. So, learn who is running in your area, and find out if they share your values. It’s tricky, but it’s not that hard to become informed on all this. Keep it simple, and ask questions.

Please, please, please, if you have any questions, ask me them! Post a comment on this message, and I will answer it to the best that I can. I follow politics and have studied them in school. I’m no expert, but I can help out. So ask away, no question is stupid, ask anything.
For example: which party gave us the GST and why? or, what is this whole sponsorship scandal about?

Have fun, and here’s the main parties’ website for you to look through:
