Canadians: 2008 Election

(1/3) > >>

Suga Foot:
So we're having a federal election in October.  What are your thoughts?


I'd like to see a conservative majority.  They're not my ideal party (I'd like them to be more fiscally conservative), but they're the best choice by far imo.  Either way, a change in federal power has little to no effect on my day to day life, so it's not a big deal. 


And lol @ the two NDP candidates from Vancouver that had to drop out for being pot heads.

The King:
I'm voting NDP because of the whole green policy and they plan to decriminalize marijuana. Plus the whole Marc Emery thing, Conservatives will send that guy on a one way trip to the US and he'll never come back. These are superficial issues, but economy wise, I don't see the difference between the parties. Health care won't get better, food and gas won't get cheaper. Nothing will change if the Conservatives win, or Liberals win, other then these little superficial issues. The thing that annoys me is, if you're a conservative, you have one party to vote for. If you're left wing, you can vote NDP, Green or the Liberals. It biases the whole thing, and the right will always win, since the right wing votes aren't spread across 3 other parties.

Harper is the only one who actually acts like a leader. The rest don't really have a chance. I like the fact though if everything goes to shit we can just have another election.

I really wouldn't call it right wing. The right is so left of center here in Canada right wingers exist in name only. Vote LPC.

Not everything is black and white, liberal and conservative.  You seem to think everything falls into only two categories, which is incorrect.
Having 4-5 major parties is a lot better than only having 2 options like the Americans.

and lol @ the "right will always win"
