Today's Mission (Monday Jan 23rd) :

Find your polling station, go to it, and cast your ballot.

That is all.

PS- That was not all. Here's the Elections Canada page you can use to find your polling station:

I will but with no enthusiasm.

Todays specials:
Item 1) Hospital food
Item 2) Airline food
Item 3) Eat your ballot

Item 3 sounds the tastiest.

Edit/ forgot
Item 4) Leftovers
Item 5) Floor sweepings

Well, I just got back from voting. I will not say who I voted for, but I am sure it was wasted because I live in ultra-conservative Stockwell Day territory. Jeez I can't stand that guy. He has been my MP for ~8 years now, and I never voted for him.

Oh well, still got to make the effort or you have no standing to complain.

Addendum: Did anyone see the Jon Stewart show where he was making fun of the Liberal/Conservative attack ads because they were 'too polite'? Fricken hilarious.

So it's a Conservative minority then. Can't say I'm surprised much. 3-5 more years of Stockwell for me :sigh:

Seeing as its now Tuesday...

who won?

bulliver · 01-24-2006, 05:53 AM

Steven Harper and his Conservatives. Won 124 seats in Parliament to the Liberal's 103. Still a minority though, so hopefully the rest of the commons can keep him in check (sorry if I am offending any Conservatives

)

Sorry to here you're stuck with Crockwell. To be fair I think (hope) the ultra-conservatives will be kept on a short leash by the new PM.

yekrahs · 01-25-2006, 03:32 AM

Why? What's S. Harper planning on doing? Privatising everything left right and centre, or is everything already privatised over there?

"If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures that you want to vote for, but there are certain to be ones that you want to vote against. In case of doubt vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong.

If this is too blind for your tastes, consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and then vote the other way. This allows you to be a good citizen, without spending the enormous amount of time on it that truly intelligent exercise of franchise requires."

"Those who fail to exercise their vote have no cause to complain about the result."
