I don't think the Conservatives have done a particularly good job but they haven't been terrible. I hope with a majority, we don't have fucking elections wasting our money every couple years.

Actually, it was because the Harper government was held in contempt. It came up at the same time, but it's a very different thing.

There's nothing partisan about what I said, right wing voters don't support proportional representation currently because their slight percentage majority is enough to give them seats. They resolved their vote split years ago by merging parties and now they have nothing to benefit from proportional representation.

Woot no more LGR.

I talked to a young man from England this weekend. He was apalled by the lack of political involvement canadians have in general, especially youth. He has attended weekly political meetings in Lonsdale during his stay here and has been more involved in our politics than I have ever been. Get out and vote Canada!


Cheers.

Sorry you're wrong. "The Harper Government" won a majority. Get it right.... :fullofwin:

Watch non-restricted sales go through the roof once the LGR is gone. :fullofwin:

HAH douchebag liberals this is what u get for bitching every 2 years

Wow even Green will have a seat

Ha ha, Ignatieff............ that makes my day.


and BQ with only 3 seats so far............. hee hee.......

it's good to see the green party finally got a seat. This has been one of the better elections in recent years

Popped my voting cherry today.
:fullofwin:

in 2005 61.3% voter turnout in england.
in 2006 64.7% voter turnout for canada.

2008 was a bad year for turnout here in canada with 58.8% but england had the same thing in 2001 with 59.2%

so yeah............

I think it's because regardless of who is running the country, very little changes in Canada, especially for younger generations. If it doesn't affect their daily lives, why would they care?

Yes, I'm aware that the government makes a big difference in everyone's life but for the kids who are right around entering voting age or in their early 20s, I'm sure they don't notice a whole lot.

Maybe it's also the laid back Canadian mentality compared to the drunken bar fights over security cameras and such in the UK.

on your way to being a slut, LOL

Why? I doubt having to fill out a peice of paperwork and pay a small fee is enough to deter a responsible gun owner.

Bloc down to leading in two seats, LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Let's hope for 0 seats.

LOL Ignatieff dun goof'd it

back u up to 3 lol

glad NDP is killin it this year, Layton seems like a good guy

voted for the first time too

I voted properly this time around. I usually spoil my ballot, because there really isn't much of a choice. This time around, I'm living in a swing riding and I felt my vote would count, so I did my homework and researched all the candidates. I definitely did not want to vote for this certain candidate that refused to show up for the all-candidates debates. Refused to take a stand on some pretty important issues. Looks like I wasn't the only one thinking this way as the other guy is leading by a good margin.

BTW, nice speech by Iggy. Makes him look almost human.

Yes, he looks like someone that has a bit of integrity........... as far as any politician can have.



Chuck Cadman.......... we need more guys like him.


Wifey is definitely nowhere near what the old man was like. I'm not in Surrey, so I have not followed her. From what I gather, she's on the list of Conservative candidates that are in hiding.

Haha, just saw Doucheppe's count. He's behind in his riding.

The Liberals never had a chance with Ignatief. I keep hearing he's actually quite a cool guy but his public persona is just terrible. He's almost as bad as that Dion clown they had before.

Until the Liberals get someone with some charisma in that seat, I don't know how they're going to get votes.
