Man, I can't figure out how to vote for. Each party has like one good point and over 9000 bad points.
Originally I was gonna vote NDP because of the net neutrality thing, but that party's beliefs blow besides that. Screw epic unionization....
Probably gonna end up voting conservatives :/.

Thanks, guys!  |
Youth = very vocal online, liberal leaning, very low turnout
Elderly = basically non-existent online, conservative leaning, very high turnout
You probably just live somewhere with a lot of elderly people or an extremely good conservative candidate

Both are true.
Yesterday my neighbour heard I was home so she came by with a pie and flowers from her greenhouse (outrageously nice elderly women who bring pies and flowers to people they don't know well exist outside of television, to the surprise of new neighbours) and asked me if I was going to vote. We talked about that for a bit, and she said "I'm voting Conservative, and so is my church group, of course. But don't tell my grandkids that!" Her husband's reason for not voting Conservative is because "that Harper's a snaky-lookin' fella'."

Projections already show that David Sweet will sweep this local riding regardless.
If you have not already voted in the advance polls, tomorrow, just vote based on your views.

A tad confusing.

HAha That's so not true...
You haven't seen the recent polls or you're just a Liberal supporter. NDP is domininating in lots of ridings, and they have a clear majority in Quebec. |

I like that you initially had written "trolls" instead of "polls." Too much time on MacInsiders?

Don't. Stick with the NDP. As a poster from another website said it best:
"A government with priorities of stealth jets (attack), prisons (crime rate is down), and large corporate welfare (used for executives salary increases & bonuses, or a government with priorities on families, a tax break for small business (the real job creators), and a pension opportunity for middle & low wage earners. Which Canada do you want?"
"The last thing Canada needs is an affirmation of a government obsessed with control, dismissive of critics, and determined to further diminish the role of the state in charting a better future for the country." ( http://www.thestar.com/opinion/edito...dorses-the-ndp) |
