I voted for the first time last elections (i wasn't a legal canadian citizen up until then). I dont remember who i voted for, and I cant remember why. It was probably Liberal.
I have been influenced a little by being fairly close to a very Liberal family (the Trudeaus and their immediate family) which always, by default, made me feel like they are right, and everyone else is wrong (even if i didn't know the details).
Hopefully this year i will make a better informed decision, but probably the same. lol
And if you guys voted for the NDP on the basis of them being good leaders, you're nuts! They would bankrupt the gov in a year tops by retarded spending on crazy communist schemes to make Canada the most socialized country in the west.
But if you voted for them to counter balance the Conservs/Libs then ok.

I'm undecided between the Bloc and the Cons.
I voted Cons at the last elections, but this time around, it's tricker. No one wants a Cons majority govt.
I think this country does a lot better with minority govs, plain and simple.
You give the conservatives one and they will try for social reform, you give the Liberals one and you restore their high minded "I am owed this" attitude and they then enjoy a sense of false security at our expense for the next decade.
It sort of sucks when you can't trust a single party in this country, I suppose I ought to vote based on my local MP rather than think about what happens in Ottawa (in this case). Then again, I rather not trust the bastards than be "American" with blind support for whoever is in power.

so I take it you'll vote Bloc?
i have actually considered this. I am a federalist, but the bloc is good for our interests. Quebec needs to step it up. I can not wait until that asshole Charest is gone.
The Bloc and Conservatives work very well together, if we can have the balance of power, then the Conservatives can be tamed with their agenda to our benefit.
I wanna revoke my vote, liberals are such garbage.... atm.

Those debates were heinous.
Harper is no angel but he proved that he can withstand a 4 on 1 gang rape and hold his own.
Maybe if all 4 other parties join together and pick a new leader all together, I'll consider voting for them, but to me they just seem like cry babies that are out to get Harper instead of proving to me (the voter) that they can offer something substantial and worthwhile.
Palin v Biden debate was way more entertaining anyway, say it ain't so, joe!
