Pending federal election, how would you vote?

[marktheone]

Assuming that we have an election looming let's see how Avcanada folks would vote.

[. ._]

Green, or Marijuana Party.

[Right Seat Captain]

None of the above, Green.

[mellow_pilot]

I'm gonna spoil my ballot... with fecses

[cyyz]

Damn you Hill-billy... BLOC!!! BLOC!

Fark, does everyone forget about bloc and their some 60+/- seats?

[Right Seat Captain]

Actually you are right, the Bloc would be the ones to vote for. The problem is, they aren't in my riding.

[desksgo]

Liberal...because everyone deserves a second, third and tenth chance.

LoL, I know you're kidding, but still, lol, guess that's why leblanc will be back.. =P

[mellow_pilot]

Isn't it ironic that a party bent on splitting up the country has 60 seats in the federal paliament? Fuckin' Bloc.

[Scuba_Steve]

i'll vote conservative although I am fully expecting the Libs to take a slim majority (woo freaking hoo) I'll hold out the vain hope that maybe THEN the conservatives can get their act together, boot the hicks out and get a leader with a bit more carisma. don't get me wrong I think Stephen harper would do a good job, but hes no media darling and thats what wins elections in our stupid country.

Cheers

[mellow_pilot]

Not only is Harper uninspiring, but he also has no credibility. He won't come out and say what his views on major issues are. To me that's just unacceptable in a political leader. At least have the balls to say what you think.

Anyway you cut it, we are all going to get screwed. Let's start the "Avcanada party". Then we can sit and argue over what should be done and get paid for it. Hell, it's all the politicians do anyway, might as well be us getting paid to get nothing done.

[costermonger]

Harper lost what little credibility in my eyes when he claimed the gay marriage bill lacked legitimacy because it wouldn't have passed without the help of the Bloc.. Literally weeks after his party, with the help of the Bloc, tried to force an election.

[Dust Devil]

Every one says Stephen Harper is "Scary". WTF? He isn't the freakin boogy man people. How can you not know where he stands on issues.

Gay Marriage - Opposed however would allow a free vote by his MP's
Gun Registry - Opposed it's gone once they are in
Health Care - For it however with reforms to make it a more feasable
system Yes meaning 2 tiered however not the same system as
in the U.S. there are alternatives.
Missel defence - For it, why the hell not. it isn't going to cost us a dime yet it
may save our ass.

I agree that most governments are corrupt but once your caught you gotta boot em. The conservatives are going to be very careful about how they handle dollars for a while atleast. If you allow the liberals to stick around after this then you are basically telling them it's OK. Let the tories back in till they screw up then boot them. That's how democracy works.

[Scuba_Steve]

yeah what dust devil said..the media mostly destroyed his credibilty(as I said hes no media darling) Harperr has been quite clear where he stands, but he said he'd let democracy rule with a free vote, I'd respect that moreso than a NDP style of vote where if you listen to your constituents and vote against the party you get the boot. Go jack layton!

I can't believe two relatively MINOR issues such as gay marriage and abortion are what poeple care about when there are real issues to be worried about. But hey this is bubble gum politics at its finest.

On behalf of Gilles Duceppe, MP for Laurier—Sainte-Marie and Leader of the Bloc Québécois, thank you for your e-mail of September 13th, 2005.

We appreciate your taking the time to write to us. The Bloc Québécois’s mission is to defend Quebec’s interests in Ottawa and to create the necessary conditions for Quebec sovereignty.

You must understand that the Bloc Québécois operates on the belief that Quebeckers form a separate nation and it is prepared to express this difference by establishing a sovereign country.

As a result and because we have too much respect for our neighbours in the provinces to offer them second-rate service, the Bloc Québécois will not be fielding any candidates outside of Québec.

To learn more about the Bloc Québécois and the issues we defend, please visit our Web site at http://www.blocquebecois.org.


Sincerely,

Guylaine Grenier
Coordinator of Press and Citizen Relations

I kind of think it's funny that Harper says he'd put Gay Marriage to a free vote. A free vote on taking away what the Supreme Court has decided is a right. But no free vote on missle defence. After all you can't dick around when it comes to somthing really important, sucking up to the US.

[hazatude]

We seriously need to start from scratch in this country. It's too late to save any of these arsehole politicians. Ready your rifles men!

[. ._]

Uh oh!

Here comes Che Haza! In another thirty years, tourists will be coming here, and buying T-Shirts with hazatude's picture on it. Freaky.

Not that I could care less about who wants to do what to whom in the bedroom ...

Theoretically, the courts are not supposed to legislate ie create or decide what the law should be. They are supposed to interpret and apply the law.

The legislature is supposed to create the law. However, in practice our legislature is full of such lazy and incompetent cowards, they duck out on the tough questions and let the courts decide issues that the legislature should be dealing with.

This abrogation of their responsibilities could certainly be described as delinquent in no uncertain terms.

[PatDaPilot]

Haz, you bring the guns, I'll bring the whiskey...... it'll be a grand ole time..... and when we're done, maybe we can finally get the entire house of commons to agree on one thing...... it's impossible to breathe when you've been shot in the chest 15 times......

But seriously...... you people want those goddamn wannabee american slug conservatives to run this country again??? Jeebus!!!! Why don't you just hand me a banjo, kick out 4 or 5 of my teeth and cut as many social programs as we can without people screaming like the whole country's just gotten a brazillian wax, cuz after all, gotta pay for that tax break to the upper earners somewhere...... that's all for my anti PC rave for now...... but I warn you, I may be back....

[metal overcast]

The Liberals have managed to show all of us how corruption runs rampant in politics and Harper really scares me so I guess Jack is the man.

Well I totaly don't think it's funny that people are willing to lay down and be governed by people who we're not even elected. Making the issue a free vote puts the decision in the hands of the voters. you don't get any more democratic than that. But if your into the current system of honor thy party then you vote how you vote. I can't remember electing the supreme court to parlement. Mabey I missed that question on my ballot.

Bloody hell another one! What did harper do to scare you?

[loopy]

Alas, the Rhino party is no more.

Perhaps the CBLA, the Cape Breton Liberation Army. Yes, they are a separatist party, like the bloc, but jesus, they're Capers, they know how too throw a separation party! "Down with the causeway, b'ye's!"

Unfortunately, the Conservative's resemble the Democrats in the US in 2 ways (even thought they are probably more like the Republicans in policy):

1. They lack strong, cohesive party organization across the counrty.

2. They lack charismatic leadership.

The other unforutunate thing is that the only party that has a legit claim to being a national party right now is the liberals. Kind of like the Republicans in the US, they have the best political and media "spinning" machine.

My vote can change from election to election, issue to issue. Philisophically, I would be more liberal. I am sick however, of the arrogance of this current federal liberals. Therefore I am hoping for a strengthening of the conservatives and that they can break through and get seats in every province and territory. I think the liberals need to lose the gov't before they can have a real changing of the guard. Then I hope Frank McKenna goes for the leadership, but that's not going to happen for a while.

The whole idea of the leader having to be charimatic is B.S. Look at the last 2 p.m's first cretien oh ya a real smooth talker. next we get ole pink face, who flip flops and slides into bed with anyone who can help him out. no wonder he supports gay marriage, it helps him get into bed with old jack.
