Re: Election - what does it mean ?
My largely uneducated opinion is this is going to be another exercise in futility.
We will spend millions on this election and come out with largely the same bloody result as last time.
So much for Harper and his "I want a new mandate".
F****ng idiot.

:curse::curse::curse::curse::curse:I generally agree, I am a bit fearful though that the Liberals may lose ground due to the carbon tax idea; a Harper majority government would be a frightening thing.

Never had any use for the BLOQ but I really do hope they will deny Harper a majority. Other than the island of Montreal and immediate environs the vote will go either to the Tories or to the Bloq. The Liberals don't figure into the equation.

I think there's a variety of opinion on this board, you for example, are way more conservative than I am, and yet everyone is scared of a Harper majority. Who then does vote for him?

Actually, the perfect term for him is un-Canadian.

As far as the carbon tax goes, well all I can say is that the campbell govt initiated it a few months ago here in BC, will be interesting to see if the liberals are reelected here. It was unfortunate timing as it was put in place just at the time that gas was at its highest.

Agreed. His policies and ideas on social issues scare me.

I cannot stand the BC liberals, but I also dislike the NDP so when I am allowed to vote in the future I dont think I will have anyone to vote for.
Harper doesn't bother me, better then the alternatives.

If you want laws limiting abortion and homosexuality, religion in schools, higher personal taxes, lower corporate taxes and the elimination of state funded programs such as healthcare why not just move to Texas?

I would seriously consider leaving the country if Harper wins a majority, the guy is an imbicile

Re: Election - what does it mean ?
I will be voting Bloc. Not because I particularly want to but because I want to inflict some small damage on Harper. There is no point in voting Liberal. Dion is making an arse out of himself. His latest claim is that his English is so bad because of a hearing problem. I fail to see how that effects his ability to form a coherent sentence in English when speaking. He probably writes as badly as he speaks. His opponents will jump on that, I'm sure.
