Harper = Baby Bush
The guy scares the hell out of me.
I'd like to see a coalition Liberal/NDP gov't. The Liberals need a GOOD kick in the ass, and a bit of control put over them, but Tories ARE NOT THE ANSWER. (Stupid clueless public...)

Where's all the support for the Marxist-Leninist Party?!
You guys all seem to have your priorities mixed up. Vote what's right! Vote Marxist-Leninist!
Being stranded in this Republican wasteland down South, I can't vote :(. Can you mail in ballots or something?
I realize that I'm a pretty conservative-minded fellow, but modern Canadian Tories just suck. I would vote Liberal just because they seem to be the only sane party left.
I blame it all on Mulroney, BTW.
Aren't you a Canadian abroad? Can't you vote abroad?
I'm a canadian abroad, too. I think you can vote at the local embassy, if you have one. I'm from Ontario, but currently I live in Belgrade. Incidently, Serbia is having a presidential election now, but I can't vote and I don't know shit about the politics over here. Come to think of it, I don't know shit about the current state of canadian politics either. I'm done school, I'm healthy, and I have never had to pay income tax, so I've never given it much thought. It would be nice to see a stronger gov't in terms of foreign policy. Our gov't has a nasty habit of letting other countries fuck us over in order to maintain 'good diplomatic relations.' (soft-wood lumber, north atlantic fishing, nafta violations, advocacy for canadians detained abroad, BSC hipocrisy, etc.) It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a better equipped military either. We have great soldiers, but the equipment they have to work with is pathetic. The americans are decommissioning equipment that is better than what we plan to buy. I really wish the media and the gov't would just drop the non-issues as well. The whole gay marriage 'debate' is little more than a stupidity pageant for bible-thumpers and special interest groups.
For the most part though, I don't really see the signifigance of the federal elections to my life. If I decide to stick with a career in computer engineering, I'll be moving to the states anyway, unless canadian companies wise up and start paying their engineers the kinds of salaries that their american counterparts are offering. And I doubt the gov't will have any say in that issue.

I think Martin has two things going against him, people are tired of the liberals (they've been in power for so long), and people are pissed off because of the scandals.
But still, I'd rather have the liberals win than the tories.
Then again, it could be worse, the tories could be led by Belinda Stromach... :sweat:
But I think the scenario outlined by Error is very possible, and I think we'd have to vote again in a year.
I'm just hoping the participation rate won't decrease again, seems there's a decision to make this time.
