Has just been one giant smear campaign. I am honestly sick and tired of seeing the Liberals attack the Conservatives and the Conservatives attack the Liberals. Seriously I don't care what Ignatieff said in 2008. I would much prefer and have way more respect for a party that shows me THEIR platform instead of showing the flaws of another parties.

Well said. Grandparents got their tires slashed because they had a Liberal sign in the frontyard, so I am a bit angry with the Conservatives.

No it is not but it is just extremely frustrating that this is how they get the uneducated voters to support their party.

Layton has made quite a push this election. I do not think that it will be enough to really change that much though.

I voted NDP!

Whoever you're voting for, if you're 18 then grab your ID and get to your local voting booths! You just need to show some ID and you can vote. So easy and I'm sick of having old ignorant people making decisions in this country.

If you're a student, consider voting NDP! Part of their platform is reducing post-secondary education fees.

My roommate did that and the thing pegged him perfectly. If he wasn't spot on Conservative he was even more right wing. That shit was ridiculous. aha.

i find it fucking hilarious how the election was called, giving ndp and liberals the hope to become the party in power but that plan backfired, because its looking like AT LEAST a tory minority, if not majority which would be so fucking funny

The party that wins the most seats is not necessarily the party that will form government. Get learnt.

Well the election was called because the tories wouldn't provide information requested by parliament, not just to get an election.

Yeah, as soon as you cross the border it's all trees, snow, and igloos. Instead of public transit we have polar bears that go along major routes and that's how we get to school. Which is just a massive igloo. Pretty cool eh?

i laughed. In toronto we have subways instead, but i wish we had the bears. They'd be faster and we could just feed them tourists

The conservative's one attacking the NDP is the best.
Although I did think Jack Layton signing a coalition with the Bloc was in bad form I find it hard to believe anyone will be able to take the ads seriously. Honestly turns me against the conservatives more than anything else.

I'm hoping to get to vote. Driving back to Vancouver from Calgary but should be able to get there before the polls close. Voting in Vancouver will make more difference seeing as my riding out here has been some form of conservative since WWII.
