Canadian elections

I've been voting NDP for as long as I've been able to vote, and the region where I come from has actually elected a member of the NDP since 1997. The man has done good things for our riding (Acadie-Bathurst, north-eastern NB). I've actually had the chance to meet him on a few occasions, and he was a pretty stand-up guy.

I'll probably be voting the same way this time around, though I'm not exactly certain which riding I'll be voting in, my being in Montreal for school and whatnot.

In any case, the two main parties really just haven't impressed me yet, and I'd rather vote for a party that at least seems like it would bring at least some amount of change, were it given the chance.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm just glad the guy decided to remind us how much upholding the ideals of the man who fought to have the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms amended to the Constitution is something we can't say much good about.

Thanks again, sport.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yes but they by far do not have enough seats to elect almost half of the representatives in the house of commons, and Alberta actually elected a member of the NDP in one of its 28 ridings this time around. If anything, it's Ontario that strenghtened the Conservatives power.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
