I vote based on a man's reputation. Take Brooke Taylor for example, anyone in NS will know him, he is not a lawyer, doctor or teacher, his wife isn't a nurse or any of the others. Brooke is a truck driver and volunteer firefighter. When the Liberal's were in power in NS (Brooke is Conservative) he took the Premier and the Minister of Transportation for a ride on one of the roads in his riding, he asked them if they'd like to travel that road for work or pleasure or just to get home. Within three months the road was paved. That's how he does things, he is straightforward and in your face. I like that. I am not saying he is an honest politician, but I do think he has a good heart. That's the sort of person I vote for.
In Alberta we have Ralph Klein. Love him or hate him you can't say he doesn't speak HIS mind as well. He may be tipsy when he does it but he speaks his mind nonetheless.
