If you don't want a conservative winning your riding check out this site: http://www.projectdemocracy.ca/
It tells you who has the best chance in your riding to beat the conservative running in your area.
from the site:
"More than 60 percent of Canadians do not support Harper and his government's contempt for democracy. Yet, he could win a majority with as little as 35 percent of the popular vote."

Only reason why I don't support Nina grewal as a conservative is she hasn't done shit for my riding and with another term she's going to get a fat pention for doing nothing Posted via RS Mobile | |

Her son was the one who was originally going to run, but got a dui. So her husband threw her in.

(You're already on the internet!)
If you can't do that, then at least go down on election day and scratch your vote (just draw a line through it, or drop it into the ballot box blank).
Politicians base their platforms on the demographics of people who come down to the polls (Your age and gender is recorded and reported) and until young people start coming out they're not going to start actively promoting platforms that benefit you.

Problem, statistics? | Many people including myself think the NDP and Liberals should merge. Also the BQ are not a national party.

Problem, statistics? | that just means a lot of people do not like the Liberals, bloc, and NDP..
ie.
75/100 people surveyed do not support the liberals
In that same group of people 90/100 people do not support the bloc
and again in that same group of people 82/100 do not support the NDP.
where is the problem?

I love how a website named "Project Democracy" is pushing people away from one specific party. Isn't that a little contradictory?

where is the problem? | He's just proving a point that you can use statistics to say whatever you want. If you're going to say that more then 60 percent of Canadians don't support the Conservatives you should tell the other side of thee story that they also show that 75% don't support libs, 90% don't support bloc and 82% don't support NDP.
Edit: I should also add that those are according to that particular poll.
