Which party? Discuss why. I am voting NDP because I like their social and economic policies and their stands on other issues. NDP info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Democratic_Party#History http://www.ndp.ca/ I found CTV helpful, if you haven't decided yet. http://www.ctv.ca/mini/election2006/...ues/index.html Every vote makes a difference.
Gassy Jack? Are you nuts? The guy'll get into bed with anyone for political gain. The NDP are a waste of a vote. Look at who they have for em - Bob "let's double the national debt" Rae, "Bendover" Svend "But I only stole jewellery once BOO HOO HOO forgive me I'm crazy" Robinson.... hey, did he get compensation for the pants he ruined in that riot?
RE: so who should i vote for instead? Conservative. Right now Canada is sliding into a total cesspit of Liberal corruption and frankly Alberta and Quebec are increasingly wanting out. Vote the Cons in and that sends two messages - 1) Liberals, corruption SUCKS and 2) Alberta and Quebec, your concerns have merit. The Cons will win a minority if anything - not enough to push through EVIL SCARY LEGISLATION that frankly they're not interested in - this whole thing about them being racist anti-abortion people wanting to get rid of medicare is a total lie.
it would take a gun to my head to make me vote PC or Reform... and even then I might just let them shoot me. lol.

Translation: Mr. Martin, please carry on stealing millions of dollars from the public treasury. We don't care. Alberta - you suck. Go ahead and separate, we don't want you *just your money*
YA! That was exactly what I was saying! Thanks a bunch! You sure are cynical! haha. I'm voting NDP... not Liberal. And, no.. in Saskatchewan, a vote for the NDP isn't wasted.
I'm actually pretty tempted to vote green this election, even though I normally vote ndp whenever possible... they seem to have a bit better of a platform, seem less crazed and more likely to implement th ethings I want them to, and (not to sound rude but it probably will) they have platform based on more than aboriginal rights and trying to fix health care and failing miserably.
The Conservative Party is made up of three (3) defunct parties. All of which have had their own scandals to content with. The Progressive Conservative Party, was obliterated in the 1993 election. Former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney knew this was going to happen and jumped ship, leaving Kim Campbell to take the fall with the party. (Mike Harris did the same thing at election time in Ontario.) Brian Mulroney lied about the amount of deficit he left behind. Even though the GST was introduced to assist in bringing down the deficit, in it's first year, not one cent of the income from GST was actually applied to the deficit. The Reform Party fell apart or "merged" with the Canadian Alliance Party, which also fell apart or "merged" with what was left of the Progressive Conservative Party. Since the last election and win of the minority Liberal government, Steven Harper has done nothing but piss and moan, acting like a little child who was upset that he didn't get to win the election and called for confidense vote within the first week of office. On the first day of campaining, he declared that he would hold a Free Vote to abolish same-sex marriage. The Progressive Conservative Party, as well as the other two, are predominantly for companies and the rich, making sweeping cutbacks to programs and not answering to the conseqences. That's why people are afraid of putting the Conservative Party in power. They fucked us 12yrs ago, the fucked us while in power of Ontario and they'll fuck us again.
I put Bloc, even though I live in Alberta, if I had the opportunity to vote for a party like the Bloc I would [they aren't as crazy sepratist as the PQ, or at least they don't seem that way to me], but I will probobly vote NDP, well, I dunno, we'll see
Ive i could vote i would vote for Green or NDP. I used to live in the middle of saskatchewan, where NDP has been in power for Prov gov for around 12 years. They havent done anything incredible really but liek they havent screwed up royaly ethier. The reason i'd vote Green is because, well cheering for underdogs is fun man : ) (it shows in the Poll 0.o) but like the election is one month to the day before my 18 birthday. ONE MONTH ARGGGG... oh well : \ Laters man Zepp
