Lol. Touche!
Ok, ok. I'll level - it's the Bank of Canada's monitary policy that has done this (we need our dollar around $0.65 US, not $0.74 US) and that is EXACTLY why this has happened.
Lets hope Martin replaces Dodge and drops interest rates down to 0% so that our dollar drops back to $0.65. |

Gotta agree with you there. The strong Cdn dollar is killing our international business. |

From a purely selfish standpoint, I'd be down with that...I'd watch my comission pay at work skyrocket...but a 0% Bank of Canada target rate is something we're not likely to see anytime soon...I don't believe it has dropped below the current 2% rate in...several decades? Definitely not in the last 10 years. |

Voter turnout: 13,484,260 of 22,295,670 registered electors (60.5%)
it looks like a good turn out ... but from the past two elections its droped a lot...
and it saddens me b/c i think sooner or later ppl really wont give a about elections and only by accident there will be a government that the majority population will really not like.. |

Actually, the cbc is on and they just claimed it was the same turnout as in 2000. **2cents** |

True...but it's oh so sweet to go shopping in the US when there's a good exchange rate :toothless |

I think people do care...it's just that in light of all the crap that politicians have been promising and not keeping or doing otherwise many people just don't think it makes any difference. If we had better people to vote for maybe the turnout would have been stronger :toothless |

I was busy counting ballots all night. My poll's winner was by 6 votes! YOUR VOTE DOES COUNT!
At least the NDP and Liberals still dont make a majority which means they will need conservative support. I think the best thing that could happen for the country no matter who won would be a conservative-liberal coalition so that for the first time that i can remember Canadians would have a government that represented the MAJORITY of voters. |
