Green Party

I read today that the Green party ( for those that dont know, the party that wants to legalize pot) Is saying that they know how they can make Canada prosperous and make Canada a better country.

Now, not all of their opinions are weed related, that is a "minor" concern, but they also believe in toher politacal things that are more major and more general, such do the Liberals and NDP.

Your thoughts and concerns about Canada's government, because we seem to have alot of stuff bashing the American one, so why not our own.

Who do you think will win the election, who do you want to win the election. Why/ Why not.

I definitely do not want that piece of **** Green Party to be in any position of power. Unfortunately, no Canadian political party suits my ideas and addresses my concerns, although the closest would be the Conservatives. I am getting really intolerant of this country and it's government, I should start my own party.

The only thing im pissed off about is that no money goes into the west in comparison to the east. Just because the east has more people, they have more potential voters, so they get all the money for road replacements, new construction etc. Im not really strong on any party though, i always say i would go for the party that is the least fascist, and puts more money into the west.

And dont worry, the Green party wont win. Neither will the Bloc Quebecois.

Meh, NDP is alright, i guess, at least they arnt the Liberals. God they messed up our country. The only thing im worried about is if the Liberals lose, there might be more TV violence and content restrictions.

There might be others.Interesting explanation.
Is that a fact.I am glad to hear that you are not strong on any party though he or she always say he or she would go for the party that is the least fascist and puts more money into the west.
I cannot feel "worry", so don't worry.Probably not.

Well, I'm pretty sure that I'll be casting my vote for the NDP.

and Dyne, if you're first choice is NDP...how can your second choice be a party that is the complete opposite? Or were you just going for the irony?

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.
