| so I went tonight to get registered to vote and...I don't think I will be able to!!! :( Apparently, I need some identification with my current address here in Toronto....and I don't have anything like that! I think the only place I could vote at is back in Barry's Bay where I used to live...this isn't good because I live 4 hours away from there and will not be visiting that town for a couple more weeks. What do I doooooooooooo???? I really want to vote |

No candidate is going to do anything around the newmarket/aurora area anyways, and since u feel you have no choice based on qualifications... why not vote based on the overall party?...thats what im doin, i think voting for the individual is more or less useless in a federal election. |
I don't want to regret it later, and say "I can't believe I voted for that bozo". Technically and historically, our voting system in Canada is based on voting the person. That's why the person we're putting X beside is in big letters, and the party in small letters. But that asside, you may be right, it's a compromise. In past elections, I usually felt very confident with my votes, and I'm not completely comfortable this time. |

I'm a factual guy, so i had to post this:
What Steven Harper and the Conservatives stand for:
-Private health care
-Increase our defence/military
-Tax breaks for the rich
-Would cancel the $4.8 billion for the national daycare program
-Pull the $5.5 billion agreement for Canada's Fist Nations (Natives)....which
are the poorest of Canadians
-Nothing in place to protect Ontario's auto industry which for the first time
ranked #1 in all of North America
-Abandon Chretien's Kyoto Accord (environmentally global warming program
cutting emissions etc) that all countries have signed on except the US)
-Mayor Miller pretty much said to stay clear of the Conservatives as they
have no benefit for cities and dont see it beneficial to meet with city leaders
While at a Republican event with George Bush Harper said,
'Canada is a northern European welfare nation at its worst...
we are a second rate country and we will never be a nation like
yours'
Basically we would be a puppet for George Bush.... supply troops and
approving war.....we would support the Bush's ballistic missile defence that
Martin oppsed...........cut and slash every social program
.................as you can see its a very George Bush Republic style of government
-oh yeah, hes also rather anti immigrant....he said most of the Liberal ridings
on the West Coast are help by immigrants from Asia that live in ghettos
-Under him, national unity (the Quebec issue) is in big trouble as many times in the past he
has sided with the Bloc Quebecois (the party that wants to separate)
Paul Martin and the Liberals
-Have had 8 balanced budgets (thats literally unheard of)
-Unemployment is at a 30 year low
-Soaring loonie because of our growing economy
-Only industrial nation paying its national deficit
-Against private health care
-The Gomery 'scandal' that everyone talks about
1) Paul Martin is the one who called the inquiry in the first place
2) The report is over and all Liberal members have been pardoned/
not guilty
-All these other scandals you here are all alleged and there is no fact behind them....
theres not even investigations behind them...the Conservatives just want to get the word scandal out
-Pledge an additional $6 billion to the daycare program
-Mandatory jail sentence if caught with a gun
-Gov't would pay half of first year and half of last year tution for
everyone attending a Canadian College or University
-Mayor Miller insists the Liberals have substantially invetsed in the
city and their plans for the city are big and benefial and by not voting
for them, citizens are taking away from themselves as no other party
plans such interest or investment (transportation, public infrastructure)
-Weve pretty much been the envy of every other country--economically
and the ability to resist the US in its nonsense overseas
Lastly, national economists from all over Canada agree that the Conservative finanancial
plan is unrealistic and unreasnable....they are 22 billion over budget
right now which means wed see another huge deficit or slashing/cutting social programs. |

I'd do what MarkT was suggesting and phone Elections Canada!
Good luck with the INSANE lady and good luck with being able to vote! |
