I'd hate to see this country under a conservative government. Harper has been asked if he'd send our troops to Iraq...and he's dodged the question every time. This country doesn't need a republican'esque' government.
I can't see the most right wing party putting any substantial amount of money into our health care system. The liberals are bad enough. I also think that their stance on drugs is backwards and correlates with the US's warped view on the matter.
The Green Party probably shares most of my ideals but I don't think it has the compitence to effectively run the Canadian government. It seems like they'd put us into a big debt and there's more to it than saving trees.
Quebec seperating? The bloc is doing quite well in the Quebec polls. If the conservatives and liberals don't gain some more ridings in that province then it could very well be leaving this nation. That'd be kind of wierd. A leafs and Canadiens game.
And I've been recently pondering this. Why did conscription piss of the French Canadian population so much? It wasn't just Britains game back in WW1 and 2. The french were just as much an Allie. Sure, conscription sucks, but what else was Mackenzie supposed to do? Was French Canada too blind to see the Nazi threat? It has supposedly been the biggest influence in splitting french and english Canadians. I really wish that they would wash the canadian sand out of their vaginas and realise that while this country, like every other country in the world, has it's share of problems, it's a great nation and that they're part of it the same as every other ethnic population. What else am I missing? They have enough ridings in parliament. Their views are addressed. The western part of the country has more grounds for being pissed off about being ignored than they do.
And **** the conservative party as a whole. I'm not going to vote for a party that encompasses two different parties that, combined, resemble the Bush government far too much. The conservatives are leading the polls now. That's ****ing scary. Doesn't anyone remember Brian Mulroney?
So, should I cast my vote for the Liberals in hopes of putting them in power instead of the Conservatives? The NDP and Green don't stand a chance at being the party in power. Is strategic voting the right thing to do instead of choosing the party that you support?
And I can't stand people who bitch about the government but at the same time, didn't cast a vote in the previous election. Hypocritical morons.

Heh, my views are the complete opposite of yours.
I hate seeing this country under a liberal or leftist government. I can not tolerate the fact that marijuana and all that **** being legalized ("stoners" are the scum of society). Also I do not want gay marriages to be legalized, although kind of late for that now.
And you complain that our health system is lacking funds, though that is true, compare ours to every other country in the world (save a select few) and tell me who's is better. I still like the fact that if I am hit by a car, or shot, etc., I can survive without paying anything.
I am "right-wing", but lately I've seen two sides of the war in Iraq and am no longer in full favour of it. Though at the moment I am in favour of sending some Canadian troops to Iraq, so if that is what Harper wants, then good for him.
By the way... no one cares about western Canada, you guys got nothing on the East.
