make sure ya all "speak up" on monday
Im voting NDP my self. I think Jack Layton looks like a good leader to repasent Canada. Strong with his words and never sits there going but ... ahh.. hum.... or reading his speaches from a pice of paper like the liberals.
The Conservatives leader harper just looks like a psycho path. hes got this look to him were i wouldant be all that surprised if had a bunch of dead people n things under his house.
but i dont know, Even looking at the conservatives in the past with a eye from Ottawa they were alwys sketchy to me.
Thats all just an opinion and im sure there are manny others good and bad.
stand up this monday. |

Yes, you can still vote on election day. Even though I can't find it right now, and the Elections Canada site and others say you MUST be registered on the voter's list: It aint necessarily so. I do not think that they can deny you the right to vote if you aren't registered, but you do have to go through some paperwork.
If you take all your ID, including SIN, proving you are a Canadian citizen you are able to make some kind of Declaration/Oath at the polling station that will entitle you to vote. They don't advertise this because if people use this it will really slow down the process.
You will need to find out your correct polling station for your new address in order to do this.
Glad to see that you are taking an interest.

I heard on the radio yesterday in Edmonton you can go vote if you never got your card, just show up with a couple peices of ID, like dirvers license, etc, and some utility bills in your name to help prove where you live, etc, etc. |

I'm going green. I agree with you about the "substance" of the current party, but the fact of the matter is that they aren't going to win, but voting for them will help to develop and legitimise another party that will eventually get it together.
Summary:
Liberal = Too corrupt
Conservative = Harper (yes some of us remember that he wanted to go into Iraq, doesn't like social programs, the environment, gays, or a woman's right to control what happens to her own body.)
EDIT: and missile defence too. Too bad russia recently tested a missile that makes the current missile defence tech completely obsolete.
NDP = ....indifferent. |

Voted Conservative this morning. :thumbup:
Voting Liberal would be like saying it is okay for the government to basically steal money from taxpayers.
Voting NDP is good if you want to see the country go into debt giving handouts to the people that don't like to work and bring in the tax money in the first place.
Any other vote is pretty much a waste IMO.
Go Conservatives! :thumbup: |

Don't think that if the Conservatives actually keep their word, that they won't put us in deep DEEP debt in record time. 190+ promises, that cost money, - GST = massive debt. His promises are complete BS, and he knows it.
Who will offer our citizens less Pogey and more Industrial/Commercial investment? Currently, no one. |

Unfortunately in politics you have to vote for the lesser of evils. The Conservatives are definitely the lesser of evils out of the big 3.
In general, the conservatives have done a good job in Alberta. And I like to think they can do a pretty good job for Canada too. Definitely a better job than what the Liberals have done. |

| Who knows, maybe when billions of dollars aren't wasted frivolously, it might be easier to afford the things that a federal government are supposed to take care of ;) And according to The Hour w/ George Stromboloupobopolos, the Conservatives have had their budget verified by some independent body with still enough surplus to pay down 3 billion in debt each year. I guess we will wait and see. |

I disagree. I won't vote Liberal because I don't think theft should be rewarded. I do, however, think they have done an amazing job turning our national economy around.
If only they would stop enabling the people of my home province by shoving money at them, rather than invest in the local economies with all that money. Our Pogey masters could have some self respect and a job. A real job, not a make work project. A lot of people see the equalization payments going into the atlantic provinces and can't understand how they can still be neglected by the Federal Gov. All four provinces are Conservative, and have been for some time. This has yet to make any difference back there, asside from cutting jobs left and right.
Any Gov. would look good with Billions of dollars pouring out of the ground each year. Give that Gov. an economy that they actually have to ballance, and we have a very different story. |

Just as the Conservatives in Alberta didn't put the dino goop in the ground, the Liberals didn't turn the national economy around. The feds are also riding the energy royalty piggyback. |

Don't be so arrogant as to think Oil and Alberta is the only saving grace that Canada has seen in the past ten years. It certainly has been the story here in the west, since that seems to be the only industry Alberta and Saskatchewan are interested in investing in. Meanwhile agriculture here is in a downward spiral (jsut like the rest of the nation). What more is left? |

Conservatives are simply more trustworthy than the Liberals.

Apparantely the Liberals think that Canadian values are corruption and scandals just like them. lol |

The point is what they do with those billions, windfall or not. The Liberals have been fortunate enough to be in power while the economy is doing excellent for the most part and they go and waste billions on programs that don't work and on other corrupt scams.
Conservatives in Alberta have also been lucky enough to be in power during a major boom in the economy. But they don't seem to be blowing billions on scandals. (you can argue that the rebate cheques are a waste, but it is still money in your pocket as opposed to money in the parties pocket or their supporters pocket)
It is safe to say the Conservatives (possibly eveyone else too) couldn't do a worse job that the Liberals have done. |

That's my feelings on it as well. And to say it another way, things are not likely to get any better in this country leaving the same party in power. At best things might continue on in the same fashion as we've seen for the last 4 years... the last 10 years...

I'm wondering where the plural part of Scam and Scandal came from. Sponsorship Scandal, singular, just the one. Unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible.
And the majority of Liberals weren't involved with the Sponsorship Scandal. You know, that isolated incident. Those who were involved have been dealt with.
But unlike many on here, I'm not an advocate for one single party. Not a die hard Liberal, though I have voted red in the past. I vote for those who I think will do a better job. And in a case like this election, where I don't trust anyone of the parties who have a chance at gaining power, I choose to support the party that can have the most positive impact on our current government.

I told you I may have missed something. ;) As for the Liberals who put their foot in their mouth over the US, as far as I recall, they have been let go. Just like those involved with the Sponsorship scandal.
I need to google the income fund trade debacle.
As for the double-registered votes, you don't believe this is the first time it has happened (or is happening elsewhere in the nation) with all types of supporting voters? I don't agree with it, but I'd hardly plant that one solely on the Liberals, rather than every political party out there scrounging for votes. |

Please enlighten me as to how I am claiming Alberta & Oil are Canada's saving grace. The comment clearly says that we in Alberta have as much to do with the oil wealth as the feds do with a growing economy. Which means that both are more luck than brains.
If you are referring to the second line:

, it is a point as to how the feds are also getting rich off of royalties, not just Alberta. Nowhere did I say it was the only source of prosperity in the country.

What does that even mean? I tried getting a definition for 'cypherin' from dictionary.com, but it seems the closest one I can find has something to do with either overlapping boards, or pertaining to Cyprus.
You seem to think my comment about Alberta and Sask. was a dig or insult. I'm guessing that's why you tried to form one about maritime schooling. These two provinces have all their eggs in one basket. The catle industry had to be brought to its knees before the province would even consider building packing plants capable of supporting the industry. That's all I said.
The Federal government has been investing in all forms of industry, rather than just natural resources, and in the wests case, fossil fuels. They are diversifying industry (even though it all seems to be happening in Ontario and Quebec) in areas like technology, manufacturing industry (which seems to be Canada's biggest problem. Sell our resources so other nations can make a product and sell it back to us), and even foreign trade.
Sorry if I took you out of context, which I don't think I did. (were you not saying the Federal government owes it's prosperity to the oil boom?) But you just did the exact same thing. I wasn't insulting Alberta, I was pointing out a flaw in its industry, which relies wholey on one resource. |

You're right. This was my weakest point, and I probably shouldn't even have included it. In fact I heard on the radio at lunch today that it has been looked into, at least for this election (don't know about the past ones), and the *mistakes* in the Edmonton Centre riding voters list have all been caught and fixed as of last week... apparently. |

Read that and it will become obvious why it's SCAMS and SCANDALS (plus outright lies, underhanded tricks, deciepts).
A vote for Liberal, this time around is a vote for the worst party. I used to be a Liberal supporter, which is tough to do in Alberta, but not this time, too many lies, too much bullshit.

| A majority Conservative government would be better than a minority one. At least they could get something done and we wouldn't have to worry about going back to the polls before their term is up. Plus contrary to what people think, no majority government including the Conservatives can't "screw" the country that much in just one term. lol |

Don't challange them.. I'm pretty sure if that was the goal, it could be done. |

The Conservatives knew it would be a minority, as did everybody else. That's why the big promises were made. They were all making promises they knew they didn't have to keep. We may see a handful of those 190+ programs actually make it through the house. The rest were empty, and were inteded to be that way.
We won't see an election for a few years yet. The Liberals need to trasfer power, then elect a new leader, then get that leader some face time. The public needs to get to know the Liberal leader and see him stand up for some major issues in the house before they would ever move for an election. Even still, they need the NDP and the Bloc to join in, which won't be easy. The NDP won't be pushing for the polls for any reason, since they are now stronger than they have been in decades. If the Liberals get stronger again, and the Conservative trend continues, the NDP know they will lose a lot of seats in the next election. The Bloc are indifferent, and even if the Grits and NDP jump the gun, they still need the Bloc.
So prepare for four years of absolutely nothing getting done (just like the last minority gov. but worse, since the right has an even smaller lead than the left that just lost power). You can count on four years of massive spending, as the house spins its wheels to get no where. |

Only if they end up trying to bribe the NDP like the Liberals did. lol
Either way, I am happy we don't have a Liberal government anymore. :) Although I am surprised how many people still ended up voting for them. I am especially surprised at Vancouver, not one Conservative. Toronto though, I'm not so surprised. They would rather vote for a corrupt party than vote for anything coming from the west. :thumbdown |

The Conservative party is not from the west. That's a conclusion the West came to on its own, because that's the way they always vote. I can't say this enough. All four Atlantic provinces are Torry. That's as East as you can get. |

No. You couldn't be more wrong. The current conservative party is made up of the decimated PC (post Cambell) and the Alliance party.
No one can doubt that Alliance is a 'western' party, and the current Conservatives are mostly Alliance.
If you need proof, check out where Harper is from. And his wife. (Yup, you guessed it, Calgary, his wife even wait to Sait, and he worked in the oil business).
Just because the AC votes Conservative that makes the party 'Eastern'? Check the history of the party first please. |

Also you do realize that the Conservatives got crushed in the far east. They lost all of the 4 Atlantic provinces, so I have no clue what you are talking about. |

On another issue:
Anyone else notice how PISSED OFF Paul Martin sounds lately everytime he's quoted on TV or Radio news lately? Doesn't matter, whatever issue of discussion, its in his voice, his tone... What's he pissed off at? That we've gone to an election? Pissed off at Canada/Canadians? Pissed off at the other parties?
Mr. Harper seems calm. Mr. Layton seems calm. Why does Mr. Martin have his panties in such a knot??
My guess would be it was Martins turn at the helm but to him it was short lived. Therefore hes kinda ticked at the mess left for him to absorb.
Mr. Harper is happy duuuh cus he won!
Laytons a better sport than Martin cus he had nothing to lose and he got his foot further in the door.
JMO ;) |

Um.. if you saw the timestamp of my post you'd notice I wrote that BEFORE the votes were tallied. I was referring to the period in previous weeks leading up to monday's election.
