    So yeah, what's everyone thinking about the election coming up on October 14th.

    I've voted NDP the last couple of years and it was cool because I was in Jack Layton's riding, so I knew I was voting for a winner, which is nice...but I've moved and I don't know about voting for his wife.

    I've voted Liberal in the past and would do so to prevent a Conservative majority but it's tough knowing Dion is going to be the guy running the show. He seems like a nice dude but I'm still unsure about sending him into an important meeting with international political types. He seems like he could get bullied and even if that doesn't happen that's the vibe he gives off. He needs to defend himself physically in public like Chretien did, then I'd believe he's tough.

    Harper does seem tough but sooo slimy. And his finance mister is a total asshole to Ontario so there's no way I'd even consider voting Conservative.

    The Mayor likes the Greens and their platform clearly supports urban areas and I guess there's a chance they'll grab a seat somewhere in Toronto.

    What about you guys, what do you think?

    If I could, I would vote NDP. I like Jack and Harper pisses me off. Also, Dion looks like a mother fucker, so no for him.

    Last time I went PC because the Liberals got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
    personally I believe you don't vote for the best party, you vote for the least worst.
    I'm thinking Green Party, I've been to their site and like their platform. I'd like to see them get a bunch of seats and see if they can do anything.
    NDP is tempting thought too, but I think they don't really worry about the budget or running a deficit and that's a concern for my overtaxed pay cheque.
    The Liberals need more than 3 years to think about how they screwed up, but if you give the conservatives too much time in office..well they act like the NDP in some way.

    Brother they dropped the P in PC a long time ago and the past group of Liberals have done nothing worse then the current group of Conservatives have.

    The Con's are such fucking bullshitter, they ran a campaign based around "ohh look the Liberals had that Ad Scam thing" and then they go and do the exact same shit when they get elected... and ruin the economy while the're at it.

    I'll stand by the dozen or so years when Canada had one of the best economies in the world and vote Liberal this time around I think.

    Plus they're giving lots of money to sports.

    PM or rep me your riding and i'll look up who's good.

    Put it's probably going to be the Liberals, despite Dion - who could turn out to be really cool - but probably not.
