Canada votes 2011
 

Surprised there was no thread for this yet.. unless I'm blind, which in case, mods please delete.

So this link I found interesting, take a short survey and find out which of Canada's political parties you are closest with.

Stupid elections.

That is all.

LOL closest to Conversative and furtherest from Green party

Hmmm closest to the liberal party, furthest from the Conservative.

Closest to Liberal, furthest from Conservative.

I guess I really didn't need a quiz to tell me that.

Closest to Liberal, Furthest from Conservative.... is anyone surprised?

Closest to Liberal, furthest from Green

Closest to Conservatives, furthest from NDP and Green

In case any Liberals voters aren't good with math, Iggy has already pledged to give away:
$400M to Quebexico for an arena
$300M in additional GIS
$500M to daycare
$1B to students

Plus he'd have to find a way to keep CPP solvent if more people add to it. I think Ben recently posted that withdrawals are exceeding contributions.

Since we're not even into Apr, any bets on how much Iggy can give away?

I have no issue with these two (even though I no longer benefit from either).
Given the number of students and people of age to soon have young children we have it's a perk for most of you.

Leaning towards Liberal but I disagree with their policies on taxation.

closest to conservative
furthest from NDP

closest to liberals, furthest to conservatives

Is that on top of or instead of the Child Tax Credit?

Not particularly close to any of them. Sigh.

The $1000 to each student is dumb. Why?
- It gives money to students who may not need it
- It directs money away from students who may need it
- The money may be wasted, not spent on tuition or supplies
- It does not identify which institutions would qualify for the $1000, which will be frustrating for students who pursue education beyond the normal college/university route.
- It falsely encourages high school students to attend post secondary school. School is not for everyone, we shouldn't be dangling $1000 carrots infront of people.
- It will increase the percentage of people getting an education, making degrees more and more worthless as more people have them.

There are much better ways to support students than giving them cheques.

Closest to Liberal, furthest from NDP

Edit: Same with Liquid_o2, Conservatives aren't that far off.

I'm closest to Liberals, although Conservatives are right on their heels.

NDP is barely on the radar.

I disagree with a lot of what the Liberals are preaching though, and Ignatieff is the least person I would trust running the economics of the country.

closest to lib furthest from NDP..

... 2nd closest to bloc.. WTF? LOL

i think the chart is skewed. The Conservatives of Canada aren't that far right.

I'm closest to Liberals - but still voting Conservatives.

Closest to Liberals furthest from Conservatives...Can't say I'm really shocked.

:lol

Closest to Green, furthest from Conservatives.

closest to liberals furthest from conserv

Closest to Liberals.

I'd be closest to Conservatives if I wasn't completely opposite to their views on the Abortion, Same-Sex marriage and Marijuana legalization questions. Because of that, I wouldn't vote for the Conservatives even on a cold day in hell.

Closest to Liberals and farthest away from the NDP. I must admit, the NDP is the party I know the least about too. Anyone want to Coles notes me on their ideologies?
