Dear candidates

Dear Jean, Pauline, and Mario,

Seeing that you’re going around Quebec making promises in order to get votes, here’s a short list of things I would like (not in any particular order):

1. When I’m sick, I want to be able to see a doctor before either of these two things happens:

a) My body heals itself

b) I die

2. I want to be able to get a job so I can pay for my student loans once I finish school in a few months.

3. I want that woman I saw on the bus with three babies and a huge baby carriage to be able to send all her kids to daycare so she can work..or relax…or make more babies.

4. I want to afford getting on the bus!

5. I want you to stop ignoring Anglophones

6. I want Bill 101 gone (ok that was wishful thinking but hey, it’s the holiday season)

7. I want to be able to see all those packs of cigarettes at the depanneur even if I don’t smoke, because in case you didn’t realize it, we still know they are there!

8. If immigrants are forced to learn French, I want Quebecers to be forced to learn about immigrants.

I think that’s it. I wanted to add yellow margarine to the list but I just remembered we got that last July.
