[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

Damn anglos, you can do it. You can vote something else than the incumbents.

Or stay home.

It is possible yes.  But until a better alternative arrives, it is unlikely.

I voted already. I voted NDP. Not because I want them to do well (which they won't); in fact I'm quite mad at them. But my Oshawa riding is a close call between PC incumbent and NDP challenger. Liberals do shit here.

You rant about how bad decisions the NDP have made but when you entered that polling booth you just couldn't help yourself because the thought of the alternative is just too terrible.  I will likely be just like you in the Federal election only with the Conservatives.

Yes. For me, and obviiously this is subjective, the worst scenario is a Hudak government. I don't like Horwath's NDP, but in my riding any other vote is handing it over to the PC. The NDP is the only party that can challenge the PCs so I vote for them.  I take it in your riding it's a toss up between Conservatives and NDP as well.

Again, staying home is not an alternative for me. The NDP can lose my riding by <1000 votes. It can be close.

In my Riding it would be a close contest between the Liberals and Conservatives.  Its a swing riding.  At the end of the day I dont think I could ever support Trudeau for PM no matter how upset I am at the Conservatives atm.

And so he is voting for what he believes is the lesser of all evils.  Isnt that how most people vote these days?

[Grey Fox]

Yes, a despicable act.

Most likely, yes.

[crazy canuck]

Yes, a despicable act.

[Josephus]

Yes, a despicable act.

Disagree.

Interestingly....this morning radio said that polls were showing a slight possibility of a Liberal majority as NDP and Green supporters were moving to the Liberals. this evening radio said a new poll shows a dead heat between the THREE parties at 30 per cent.

This is all going to come down to who votes. Early poll voters were down by six per cent from last time. With World Cup, crazy Traffic, and bad weather they're predicting a low turnout.

[Grey Fox]

The past 2 provincial elections I've voted for the PQ. You can draw your own conclusion.

Interesting. Globe's editorial board wanted to endorse Liberals. Overruled.

Surely any decision made by the Thomson family can't be wrong.
