Come on Canada! Get out there and VOTE!

1. w00t

I'm cheering you guys on from here. Fight those Tory SOBs!

[GirlinContempt]

2. Doing our best!

[Interrobang]

14. No, it's the C.R.A.P. SOBs we're having the trouble with...

The Tories really aren't as bad as the C.R.A.P.s, Mulroney notwithstanding. (Actually, Stephen "I Look And Act Just Like Newt Gingrich" Harper would be worse than Mulroney.)

I voted. I was stunned at how many people were at my polling place at 3:30 on a Monday afternoon. I was also stunned at how many candidates we had in my riding (London North-Centre) -- Liberal, Conservative (aka C*anadian R*eform A*lliance P*arty), Progressive Conservative (aka Tories, Red Tories), New Democrat Party, Green, and Marxist-Leninist (!).

Now all we have to do is bite our nails until the returns come in...

Remember, vote early, vote often! :)

15. Dude, the tories ARE the reform party now

They FLOODED the PC party with votes to merge...

[Interrobang]

16. No...

The PC party still exists, at least to some nominal degree -- they were running a candidate in my riding! There are some Red Tory refuseniks out there (including, I might add, the very high-profile Joe Who) who just didn't go along with the merger. Hence the appearance of a PC candidate on the ballot in London North-Centre.

And I beg to differ with you -- the C.R.A.P.s are not the "Reform Party" anymore; ever since that fateful day, they were -- and ever shall be -- the Canadian Reform Alliance Party. :)

17. They're an absolute anormality

those that still exsist. My father is so frustrated he's voting green. that tells me something....

3. I'm just on my way

But it's frustrating, because living in Harper's riding, I don't feel my vote counts for a hell of a lot. But I'm going anyway, 'cause if I don't I won't be able to complain.

Missing sig line insults Harper. Just so everyone knows.

[GirlinContempt]

5. What would be amazing

is if Harper didn't win in his own riding.
I would laugh so hard.
That would be PERFECT.

9. Riding?

I'm not familiar with that term -- is it a precinct? Legislative district? Something else altogether?

Excuse my ignorance. :dunce:

[Screaming Lord Byron]

10. District. Equivalent to a congressional district, basically.

[eyesroll]

11. Thanks, SLB.

And pre-emptive thanks to anyone else who's answering now...

7. I know how you feel. To my great surprise I live in

Duceppe's riding.

However think of the $1.75 your chosen party will get.

[GirlinContempt]

12. I was in his riding

when i was in Montreal...
Creepiest eyes ever to stare at me from a lamp post.

[GirlinContempt]

6. Deal

[CrownPrinceBandar]

18. Go NDP!

Not a Canadian, but checked out the NDP a bit. I thought they had a very sensible approach.

[GirlinContempt]

19. NDP is the best! Go NDP!!

[CrownPrinceBandar]
