Absolutley not.

I'm just saying it doesn't matter who I vote for, essentially my vote doesn't count.

To me the Conservatives are just the liberals on steroids. The conservatives will just accelerate what the liberals have been doing.

I would most likley vote CAP if they were represented in my riding. Since their not, my vote will most likley go to the NDP. I watched a debate at my college last week, and the green candidate impressed me as well.

Con 38%
Lib 26%
NDP 19%

Seat projection
Con 143-147
BQ 59-63
Lib 59-63
NDP 39-43


A new national Ipsos Reid survey of 2000 Canadians, conducted for CanWest News Service/Global News from January 17-19th, frames the Conservatives holding 38% of federal votes (+1 point) and taking a 12-point lead over the Liberals (26%, -3 points) into the final election weekend. The NDP at 19% (+1 point) and the Green Party at 5% (unchanged) remain static in the polls.

Meanwhile, in Quebec, the Conservatives at 27% (+6 points) are now attracting nearly double the percentage of federal votes than are the Liberals (14%, -10 points) - the Bloc holds steady with 46% support (+3 points).

And while there has been speculation from many of a tightening vote scenario in the crucial province of Ontario, this trend does not appear evident: The Conservatives at 38% (-2 points) have maintained a lead (now at 4 points) over the Liberals (34%, -3 points) in this province. However, rising Liberal fortunes in the city of Toronto alone, which will not produce any new seats for the Party, has perhaps been at the root of this speculation.

Ipsos Reid's seat model projects that if a vote were held tomorrow, the Conservatives would have a potential of 143-147 seats, the Liberals would have a potential of 59-63 seats, the NDP would have a potential of 39-43 seats, and the Bloc Quebecois would have a potential of 59-63 seats. In order to achieve a majority government, a party needs a minimum of 155 seats in the House of Commons.

LOL at the fact that "He is too Pro-American" is a means of political propaganda.

I didn't say anyone did it was right in your article

"the same voters who decided the last election, 17 months ago, following a Liberal campaign that successfully tarred Mr. Harper as "too pro-American."

[Machette]

He is, Harper has been known to talk frequently to right wing politicians in the U.S. A conservative think tank sent out an e-mail (last week) to all it's staff saying not to talk about the possibility of harper winning because it would expose ties with harper.. It was in the globe and mail today. oOo:

[Short Hand]

ugh.. if they bloc even ties a "semi" alliance with the conservatives.....

[Machette]

Won't happen.

[Short Hand]

let up hope so.

[Machette]

Going to vote right now.. biggrin:

[Pyro]

All im hoping for is that if the Conservatives win...they at least try to do a good job...because they have a lot of prove because it won't take much to turn the GTA back on the Liberal side when the minority government is forced onto an election again.

I doubt Harper will get a majority win...and my vote essentially doens't count either as Brampton = immigrants = liberal vote.

[1080jibber]

Just got back from voting biggrin:

ahhhh. It feels good to be a Canadian

[Machette]

Kind of feel like I made the wrong choice, ah well.

[Machette]

Well looks like a consevative minority...ffs

It's not surprising Harper won after the Liberal scandal. It could have been worse though, it could have been a full out conservative majority in the Canadian parliament.

[Machette]

The thing is that the media isn't telling you the whole story. Paul Martin had nothing to do with this scandal, only memebers in the Chretien liberal era...the media doesn't tell you this shit and the conservatives spin it making it that it was all martins fault.
