Just that a vote for any of the 4 national parties is a vote for corruption... , they all got corruption in them and not 1 has come out with a detailed plan as to how they will get rid of corruption in government, not 1.
In fairness, we've heard plenty of negatives on the tories and liberals, now it's the greens turn...
I guess it's true then...politics is a fair game...

Looks great on paper...but the green party leader has already proved to me she is no different, she was going to accept a senate seat if the coalition a couple years back went through. The senate to me is an unelected, hang out for friends of the liberals and conservatives. She could have also come out this week and separated herself from the herd and said " no comment, someone broke the rules in releasing that report all parties no that AG report can only be tabled when parliament is sitting". As far as I know she did not!!!! If you want to different than the rest, then separate yourself from the rest, she did not.
They can also promise the world, it's easy to do when you'll never form the government.

People who don't vote still has a right to gripe, maybe they don't vote because their tired of all the corruption and bullshitters in politics. That is their democratic right not to vote.

They should just vote for the marijuana party, anywyas.
Wow Loving all the discussion here. I'm just sorry I've been AFK for 2 days lol.
I guess Reborn and the other Con supporters are no longer on the board...or at least not very often.
Biggest problem is we have Alberta and half of Ontario that will fall for Con fear mongering and STILL vote for our dictat errr prime minister. Last election there was only one enlightened riding in Alberta that did NOT go Conservative. They actually went NDP which shocked everyone lol. If one of the other parties can get a few more seats in Alberta and Quebec goes all Bloq...maybe just MAYBE we can avoid a Cons majority. **fingers crossed**

not to mention the people who forgot about the last election and are eating up harper's bs about how he's with the rest of us and doesnt want this election either. people are so dumb.
I am going out of a limb but I am voting for Harper.
I do not like ignatieff and I like Layton but not the ndp party platforms.
I am sick of elections and hope that whoever wins, gets it with a majority.

I apologize if I offended. I didn't mean it as a dispute of their democratic right to vote. I was making a joke, sorry, if it came across argumentative. I hope I am forgiven. :oops:

Don't kid yourself, harper wanted this election just as much as anyone else.
For someone who apparently posts his own photos in parliament, it must kill him to not have majority yet.

You're entitled to your opinion...but can you honestly say you are comfortable with voting for a guy who was found in contempt of parliament, may have gotten his G8 funding illegally through parliament, has shown nothing but distain for Canadian people and the political process (who prorogued parliament TWICE to avoid facing opposition questions...remember prisoner torture alligations??).
I Ignatieff or Layton or the greens...that much worse??
I don't understand how his (Harpers) behavior can be ok with so many Canadians. (by voting for him thats what you are saying IMO)

I'm not offended, no apology needed... Just that some people only have the choice of the 4 corrupt parties, the last election that all that ran here...I wish we had the choice of the pirate party.

I saw that. Doesn't surprise me at all that that website crashed....it was all over facebook...and it seems like everyone wants a reason to dislike Harper, they've just been ignoring politics for so long that they don't have one...
This wesbite chronicles most of what is on shitharperdid.ca, but much more in-depth....http://unseatharper.ca/why-unseat.php ......lots of great info in the blogs section too (check under categories)
our only options of preventing a majority are strategic voting and/or the youth coming out ...
I think the negative stuff coming out from social media, and not from competiting parties, could undermine the Cons pretty effectively by the time May 2 rolls around...and could get more young people to the polls. We'll see.
I don't think strategic voting (or anything else), will prevent the Cons from winning my electoral district. None of the other parties even get a sniff here :( My NDP candidate is probably younger than me,and has less FB friends than me - doesn't bode well for his chances! ....My liberal candidate has a pretty impressive resume, and a military background (important im my district)...but faaaaaack...my strategic vote would be liberal (as in most parts of the country)...I dont think I can bring myself to do it.

yeah ... alberta is it!? ... haha ... hopefully strathcona comes thru again in edmonton ...
there are a ton of ridings that had vote-splitting ... we need to prevent this majority!
I rather not vote, than to vote for any of the corrupt bullshitters.
You've made that pretty clear :P
I say let’s take ‘em out one at a time…we all know we're not going to see major change in our government (or any western country), without some sort of revolution - which will never happen until there is some sort of fatal economic collapse. So to me, it becomes about damage control....Harper’s time is up. He’s a right-wing zealot extremist war criminal, running a left-leaning country.
We’ll deal with the next db when his time comes…Right now, the importance of preventing a “Harper Government” majority cannot be overstated.
Can anyone speak to the legality of Harper running again? I’ve read a bunch of articles stating that he’s illegible after the contempt finding…

That’s right – I’m in St.Albert/Edmonton….St.Albert is one of the wealthiest cities in Canada, so you know they all vote with their wallets, (based on ideology more than fact, apparently)…. the Edmonton portion of the district (NW) is decidedly more middle-class/ less white bread, but is the closest part of the city to CFB Namao, so a lot of military families…
But yes….Strathcona is the district that’s home to the UofA…what a shock, eh?…the educated and the young are voting NDP
Whats the difference between a corrupt conservative, ndp or libreral government, there all crooks, there only in it for themselves...thats why stealing is illegal, the government don't like competition.

A little joke I received today...
A driver is stuck in a traffic jam going into downtown Ottawa. Nothing is moving north or south.
Suddenly a man knocks on his window.
The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What happened? What's the hold-up?"
"Terrorists have kidnapped Michael Ignatieff, Dalton McGuinty, Jack Layton, Gilles Duceppe, and Prime Minister Harper. They are asking for a ten million dollar ransom....otherwise, they are going to douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a collection."
The driver asks, "On average, how much is everyone giving?"

I disagree haffajappa...no vote is ever wasted...at the very least, exercising your right to vote earns you the right to gripe!
"Life Is What Happens To You When Your Busy Making Other Plans" John Lennon
But voting a smaller party in particular - one which you know won't get in - won't help if you want Harper out.
I guess Reborn and the other Con supporters are no longer on the board...or at least not very often.

You do have a very good point, haffajappa. I think I shall be reconsidering my options, thanks to your post.
