Canada: Federal Election

[lunarla]

This will be my first ever vote....

If you're able to vote (and are going to), who are you voting for and why?

 

[Newtype]

Same as last time, NDP, 'cause Jack is a good man and he makes sense to me. I hate Harper so much. He's like those crazy Republicans from the U.S.

 

[Sial Axetder]

Interesting. NDP, here.

Any particular reasoning?

I've definitely been leaning towards NDP too. From what I know about it all, which is somewhat limited. At least compared to how much I thinnnnk I should know. So just trying to see other views.

I don't follow politics. From what I understand NDP ... well here allow me to quote the purplemonkey --> government control vs private biseness control.

For people? Or for Business? We'll see. Often is the case that whomever is elected is never the one we wanted.

NDP because my riding has strong NDP support so no point in wasting my vote on the other group. Not that I would ever vote for the conservative.
One thing it would really funny if we ended up with a minority NDP government. I wonder how long before we would be going back for another election?

I still don't know who to vote for. I feel there is lack of 'real' choice since all parties don't care about what is best for the people.

People have felt like this since voting was invented, I think.
Everyone I know of is voting AGAINST Harper because he's basically pimping the country out to whoever has a dollar in their pocket.

If that and the details don't do it (too many details for this forum), then him posing with the singer of Nickleback, and the band actually using a giant Harper-face in their light-show on their recent tour oughtta help a bit...

I remember, in a not so far away past, when people were getting mad at me for "wasting my vote on NDP"

Oh wow. Not that there was a chance I'd be voting for him, but wow.

I just came back from voting. The girl at the desk was so beautiful and she was totally checking me out. That's nice but... I'm never gonna see her again probably. Life is cruel.

 

[Sial Axetder]

Voted, done, finished. Almost missed it. I almost forgot, surprise, surprise.

 

[lunarla]

Gaaaah, Conservative.

 

[Patrick26]

Conservatives won good bye internet! i heard they wanna block torrenting and making you pay a package amount for limited internet...no more video games unless you wanna pay an arm and a leg.

Shoulda asked her out. But don't say "wanna go on a date?" say "Wanna hang out sometime?". I once had a woman i couldn't take my eyes off of whenever i saw her, she didn't seem to look away, more blushing and smiling. Took me 3 years to get over her....don't let them slip away.

I don't want to think about useage based internet. It be real bad for the economy if it did as well deny Canada of its culture.

Massive riots would happen, and i'd be part of it.

 

[Newtype]

I'm actually really scared right now. I didn't think the Conservatives were gonna get the majority. What the hell is going on with this country? Who are all these fake Canadians voting for the Conservatives? This country is finished.

 

[lunarla]

This country is finished? I had to laugh, hahah. But yeah, not really as expected or hoped.

Ah, so you are a French-Canadian.
