Why don't they talk about...

With less than two weeks to go before we enter the voting booth, there are still some things that haven't been talked about this campaign. Here are what I think some of them are:

1. Caledonia: It's still a stalemate over five years later.  Hudak, and Horwath could really hammer McGuinty on this one.  In my opinion- McGuinty failed in his duty to protect his people.  History has a bad habit of repeating itself; fear of a repeat of what happened at Ipperwash probably caused the inaction.  It goes to leadership; you see a problem and solve it.

2. The Self-employed: Surveys have shown that although unemployment is growing, so too are the self-employed.  The federal government has responded to this, extending maternity/paternity benefits, as well as some health benefits to them.  All provincial parties aren't looking at this, and it should be discussed.

3. Affordable Housing:  Someone in a recent interview I did pointed out that even though many parts of the province have the same issues, they look different.  Homelessness for example looks different in Grimsby than it does in Toronto or even Milton.  For example it costs around  $700/ month in Grimsby to rent an apartment- expensive; especially when you're a homeless youth with limited job prospects.  Even the acknowledgement there is a problem, and it can't be solved with one blanket solution would be a step in the right direction. 

4. The "Single" Person: Believe me, I understand the focus on family.  It's the core of society- we all start off members of a family.  But here's the thing; we all grow up and become fine upstanding tax-paying citizens.  Some marry, and have kids of their own.  Some choose to remain single.  And yet despite all this the "Single person is being ignored.  Elections can come down to single vote victories, so remember the single person.

These are just four issues not being discussed.  If there's an issue you feel strongly  our leaders should tackle,  then feel free to leave a comment.  Who knows? maybe with a little over week to go, maybe a couple of them will get attention.
