just got you to post some unedited profanity...
sorry the truth forces you to cuss.....

if you want to express the viewpoints of the Canadian Nationalist Party... feel free too.. it's shows you will stand your ground for your beliefs
fly your flag with pride.. if that's what you want to do
it shows you are proud of who you are Lambchop...
we here in America encourage people from other nations into our conversations.. maybe you can learn from us.. one day..

As much as I hate to say it Lama,when Ontario votes PC for provincial then Liberals win Federal.The best we can hope for is a minority government.With Trudeau trying to get Quebecs vote saying he will try to stop Albertas and Ontarios premiers plans I believe it will be a minority government atleast.

Im tired of voting for politicians, Im thinking I will vote for Chris Hadfield. Maybe Rick Mercer.

I firmly believe you can tell a politician is BSing because their lips move.

I am so not interested any more I dont listen to any of them.

The one exception is Tulsi at the debates, yes she is american but that woman is incredible.
She has exposed the ignorance and corruption on a few of the dems, she is exposing the corruption in the entire american system.
That takes balls, they could kill her for that.

I might even vote for her.

I saw an interview with this woman on CPAC:
http://angusreid.org/shachi-kurl/

She said something that I found very humorous. She said there is almost 0% correlation between policies and voting patterns. She gave people surveys and expected them to pick their favorite policy as well as who they would vote for. The only problem is that she didn't tell them whose was which policy. Basically, you might think that an NDP voter would be more likely to pick NDP policies. She showed no correlation. LIberals hate the carbon tax just as much as everyone else (about 1/3 of Canadians); all the parties think NDP has the worst Pharmacare option (even NDP supporters), etc.

I lol'd at the part about the Conservative leader blaming Ford for his party's election loss before the election's even happened.

Do you know which country's political system isn't a wall-to-wall shit show of clowns, habitual liars and people whose only qualifications to run for office are sleek haircuts?

Am I the only one who tries to find out things about the actual people running in my riding to vote accordingly as long as they are not liberals?

Unless you are in the riding where the party leader runs you don't vote for them. Why would you talk about voting for them?

You can't choose between pm candidates. You should be choosing to vote for a particular non liberal minister of parliament that seems like the best choice in your riding.

I did like video guy tagging Madagascar as "UK". That was funny.

I did LOL a couple times, so it wasn't 8 minutes completely wasted. Still, two LOLs in 8 minutes is a rather poor ratio. Overall a stupid video. 3/10.

As for myself, after 27 years of staying out of politics, I finally decided to get back in, and did a bit of canvassing for my Green candidate. It really felt good to get out on the streets again. I think next election I'm going to get in with both feet and be part of the campaign team from the opening bell.

Edit: just noticed this:

I do try to check out all the candidates in my riding, but it rarely has an impact on my decision. Ultimately we live in a world of party politics, and we vote for a party. A really great candidate or a really awful candidate can change the picture a bit in their riding, but only a bit.

So you never vote Liberal? I can honestly say that never in my life have I voted Liberal. This year, however, for the first time I did seriously consider it in the months before the election writ was dropped. It's the closest I've come. Once the election came, however, I made up my mind and decided to go Green all the way.

Is the Canadian Green Party the same platform as an American Green Party?

Not identical, but similar.

The core issue, like in all Green parties, is the environment. On side issues there's differences.

You vote for the party and you considered voting for paper drink box water bottle sort of thing? Ok.

I agree things are messed up.

Ok, after giving you grief I caved and voted Libertarian. Just waiting for the conservative guy to take it by a landslide in my riding. Say la vee.

i voted paper drink box water bottle, but just as a sort of a "wake up call" to the big players. meh.

I try to vote for the candidate but they would need to be incredible to overcome the dread of awarding a seat to them working with Castro-Richards jr.

hahaha...

Good stuff. I voted libertarian for most of my life. Just not for me any more.

Im pretty much a Canadian and I have to say voting is a waste of time.

Up next on CC reality show;

Will Soap actually stick around the forums so he can kill off more brain cells?

Tune in next time on Dragon Ball Zeeeeeeeee!

I mostly did it because trying to get information about a candidate feels nearly impossible. I considered the PPC guy but was unable hear his pitch. None of the parties like that got a single seat.

One candidate was listed ML it took way too much google searching to figure out what that was after we had already voted. I would not have voted for them but it would make more sense to me, for the ballot to explain it better. I think it was intentionally omitted to tame it down.

Here people elect the Conservative party guys and complain about the billions of dollars that get transferred to Quebec.

In Quebec they elect Liberals so they can get transfer payments.

Round and round it goes welcome back to the 1970s..

I wanted to vote for the Rhinoceros party. Look at some of these points:

Repealing the law of gravity
Providing higher education by building taller schools
Instituting English, French and illiteracy as Canada's three official languages
Tearing down the Rocky Mountains so that Albertans could see the Pacific sunset
Eliminating unemployment by abolishing Statistics Canada, thereby eliminating the bureaucrats that measure unemployment.

Abolishing the environment because it's too hard to keep clean and it takes up so much space
Ending crime by abolishing all laws

Turning Montreal's Saint Catherine Street into the world's longest bowling alley
Amending Canada's Freedom of Information Act: "Nothing is free anymore; Canadians should have to pay for their information".
Making the Canadian climate more temperate by tapping into the natural resource of hot air in Ottawa.
Storing nuclear waste in the Senate: "After all, we've been storing political waste there for years".
Adopting the British system of driving on the left; this was to be gradually phased in over five years with large trucks and tractors first, then buses, eventually including small cars, and bicycles and wheelchairs last.
Selling the Senate of Canada at an antique auction in California
Putting the national debt on Visa
Declaring war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, Tintin, killed a rhinoceros in one of the cartoons
Offering to call off the proposed Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros "Hindquarters" in Montreal (the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa did, in fact, do this)
Painting Canada's coastal sea limits in watercolour so that Canadian fish would know where they were at all times
Banning guns and butter, since both kill
Banning lousy Canadian winters
Building a bridge spanning the country, from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland.
Making the Trans-Canada Highway one way only.
Changing Canada's currency to bubble gum, so it could be inflated or deflated at will.
Donating a free rhinoceros to every aspiring artist in Canada
Counting the Thousand Islands to see if the Americans have stolen any
