There is a referendum attached to this one, and they don't come around often.

I just finished voting at my nearest school and I went, voted, and was back home in 7 minutes flat.

A+++ for voting efficiency.
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    :p

    Yeah, but....it's David Lee Roth's birthday, today! :D We have our priorities!

    And it's province-wide, not Canada-wide.

    So, back to Dave's birthday.....

    I guess I'm American at heart. The world doesn't exist outside of my state/province...

    I watched a one hour The Agenda on the referendum and I'm not closer to understanding the implications. So I'm not voting. I prefer indifference over ignorance. I know lots of people are going to go and vote for or against something they are totally ignorant of, simply to fill this paradigm "If you don't vote, you can't complain". Well I'm not voting, and I'll complain if I want to.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    The current PC candidate in my riding is dead set against voting for change, and he's making a big point locally to coerce people into keeping it the same, so that, combined with the concept of more power to the voters, tells me definitely vote yes for changing the system.

    Same experience her, took me roughly five minutes to leave home, vote and return. Very efficient.

    Well I don't like the list system, but I'm not entirely sure of the impact it would have. It sounds like you can't elect some mmps, some will be selected by the party instead. I'd probably vote for Khalil the Liberal, simply because he's Paki apparently, but I don't know anything else about him.

    You should vote something. Vote green party, or just go and write "fuck you" across the entire ballot in large capital letters :p

    How do I know "Fuck You" isn't one of the candidates?

    I'd vote for a woman, but I'm a little nervous that women think they are better. I heard one say "We need to get at least a 50% female representation". "At least"? wouldn't 50% be the maximum egalitarian situation, anymore would be swinging the other way. I swear, it's motivated primarily by self-interest.

    I think Fuck You dropped out in 2006. He was replaced by Hugh Jarshole in 2007. :p

    95% of the ballot takers were women.

    i do not have enough Trust in this conservative Gov For them to pick thier own representatives. If passed, it will be easy to get a few good actors and bias clowns (under the radar) to pose in parliment always strongly in favor of the Prime Ministers path that will (without doubt) get more media coverage.

    If Passed,
    Who says the chosen ones can't be bought??? or favoured??
    actors, bias, puppets, tools, all to fool you....

    ..no.

    Its like having the most delicious apple in your hands. Then you are blind folded and you bite into the apple. It tastes Great. Still blindfolded you continue to eat this delicous jucy apple, to find a big rotton spot on the otherside that you did't see at first but unknowingly had a taste of, spit out.

    The whole political scene in Canada is depressing. Where's the leadership ? Where's the democracy ? Where are the legitimate choices ? Ugh.

    Just out of curiosity, I see that the MMP referendum is going to fail. I have my suspicians why, but what do others think about why this failed ???
