Harper is by far the worst though, followed by Ignatieff. Layton misconjugated a verb, but aside from that most of them have been comprehensible. Actually as it goes on, I'm noticing Layton is very at ease with his French, speaking in an almost familiar tongue. Very nice to see, and very representative of his party haha! | ||

That's like saying ''everyone's jumping off a bridge. It's ridiculous trying not to jump off a bridge because everyone else is''. Unless of course, you've been convinced by his politics. In which case, go ahead and vote for him. Also, I'd really like it if they would talk about something other than the gun registry. It's literally the same lines coming from Ignatieff and Harper on this issue as what they were saying last night... | ||

This is starting to sound like the Avro Arrow debate- expense vs supporting Canadian air industry. | ||

I know  I really regret not trying harder as a kid.....In relation to us losing respect internationally: I was surprised and disappointed when we didn't make UN security council this year. I guess I blamed Harper government for too long (06-about a few months ago) so now i'm conflicted with my own previous bias. I honestly don't want to vote for anyone and I have the most faith in Harper when it comes to revitalizing our economy. I've always voted NDP and my city has always elected NDP (Windsor) so I've felt more personal patronage to myself and my vote even though my riding always ended up NDP. The most important thing to me is our economy (and my internet!!!)... this was whack | ||

Going to vote for Green Party just because its not any of them. Although I have to say if the conservatives win I might rage slightly harder then if anyone else does. LOL. Honestly I can't describe your attitude in a word but I think it sums up a lot of peoples. We usually elect a minority government with votes split like 30/30/40 with a 50% voter turn out. If all the non-voters voted we would probably get a 25/25/25/25 with endless debate and no progress. Our whole system doesn't work but anyhting else seems even worse. T.T | ||
