No one has yet voted for the NDP. Shocking!

And what about the Annexation Party of British Columbia?

All right folks, give me one good reason NOT to vote!

That's a loaded question, because I can always say, "Nope, that's not a good reason."

Let's read up a bit on the parties, then make an educated choice. Let's not be the stupid unwashed masses that support tyranny by not voting.

Just curious... have any of you folks that voted for Green actually looked into their platform?

I did recently because I'm digusted with all the available parties... at first read they seemed pretty good. I figured that any party with an eye towards our country's long-term sustainability and viability must be onto something good...

The more you delve, though, the weirder (and "lefter") it becomes. They just changed their website around so I can't find it now to quote from, but examples are: legalizing marijauna (I don't have a big issue with this, but HIPPIE MUCH???), instituting "safe dose" clinics for drug addicts, :smt108 and formally apologizing to all aboriginals upon taking power--yeah, sure... history sucks, but I didn't take anybody's land and I resent being the source of funds for anyone's free ride. I ain't apologizing to no one.

Make sure you do some research before voting for these folks... don't check their box just 'cause you think that recycling is a good idea. In addition, for all the good ideas they do have, I couldn't help but think that their policies would bankrupt this country, and/or increase our already ridiculous taxes.

I wonder if you can do a write in vote for the Rhinocerous party. Now there was a party with a campaign slogan: "elect us and we'll quit!"

I thought there would be alot of NDP support here. I don't think the Conservatives would prevent employers putting new hires on the ramp. I think Layton would though.

rofl, I doubt layton would, he'd actually be pro-ramp imo..

But we're not pro-conservative because of some "ramp" issue...

Sure seems like those in the 416 and 905 ridings like to keep their heads buried in the sand as the recent poles suggest liberal support is still strong there.....if your voting liberal, it means to me you approve of theft, fraud, corruption....makes me wonder what kind of values you have ??

And the Conservatives are different how exactly? Does the phrase Airbus scandal ring a bell?

Is there any Quebecois in here? Why are you voting for the Bloc Party?
