Election Day!

Post by North Shore »

Well, here it is, boys and girls! The day we've all been waiting for... Vote early and often for the candidate of your choice :wink:

My particular prediction: a slim Conservative minority, with the Dippers, Libs and PQ trailing in that order. It'll be close for Elizabeth May to win her seat, but I think not (despite my vote.)

Results in 6 months: Harper, May and Iggy lose their jobs, while Jack resigns his. Gilles continues on in futility..

All MHO, of course.

voted. Not a fan of anyone in particular, but I'll be happy so long as this clown doesn't get reelected in my riding:

no sig because apparently quoting people in context is offensive to them.

Liberal leadership switches so fast they put their name in a rolodex for convenience. But lucky for Iggy I saw an ad in the want section for "one pompous, verbose, pedantic, former party leader required asap". Silver linings always there

No matter who you vote for, Avcanadians, good on you in advance for casting the ballot.

I congratulate every one of you that take (took) part in the democratic process.

Democracy is the only peaceful way to throw out a government that is screwing you.

We gotta use it, or lose it.

Happy Voting Day!

So you don't get drunk and vote for Trudeau again.

I threw my vote away in my riding that's had a PC seat since 1953 except for the single time there was a Reform candidate in it.

If I wanted to be a politician I would change my name to "None Of The Above", independent candidate. My guess is Mr Above would be a shoe in :wink:

I'm in Jesus Land here too and we've had the same Reform/Alliance/Conservative incumbent for years... until he retired this year. His replacement didn't show up to a couple all-candidates forums--including one that he specifically had the date changed to suit his needs--and in response he got torn up in this week's editorials by staunch Conservatives who recommended we vote NDP and at least get a good MP.

I did the unthinkable... :x: but istp would be proud of me!

I don't hate Harpo as much as maybe I should. I was crabby about another early election but they're suggesting the Liberals might come in third. That might even be worth $300 million.

They're showing results on CTV and there's allready too many Liberals elected for my taste.
