I see red

"When my baby's walking down the street I see red.". (I See Red, music and lyrics by Neil Finn)

In Canadian politics the Liberal party has a lock on the colour red. Interestingly, in the United States red belongs to the Republicans, a party that seems to share very few of the same values as the Liberals.

But red also belongs to Air Canada, Canadian Tire, Rogers, Target, Virgin, and many others. I guess that is one of the perils of a popular colour; it is popular with so many organizations.

And there are all of the less savoury connections with red. It is the colour of danger and warning. But is is also the colour of love.

Love them or hate them, these five colours will decide the future of Canada for the next five years.

So get out and vote, or don't dare have the temerity to complain about what happens in Ottawa.
