Haha, you kind of make it sound like a cult!!

You wouldn't happen to be affiliated with the green party in any way would you?? Sounds like advertising to me...lol!

Nah, just got a breath of political fresh air, that's all

As I said heading into this election I was a staunch conservative. Voted for ol' Stockwell Last election (sigh

). Usually vote conservative in provincial elections as well.

But for now I AM trying to spread the word as much as I can, vote is in a few days afterall

Harder still to type with a broken keyboard.

Sorry, I couldn't help it. And I tend to have a dry sarcastic type of humor.

Cheers!

Well it's Election Day here in Canada, and I went from voting Conservative to voting for the Green Party. The recent news that the Conservative Government might use it's power to veto any Supreme Court rulings (such as Gay Marriages) convinced me to vote differently this time around.

Just finished voting, voted Green as well. Was actually quite a fuss I was registered in a different riding than I lived So I showed up to the Riding that I did live in but they sent me across town (and Vancouver is a big town

) to another riding. AND they wanted to send me back

Ah well...

Went in with 4 people, all greens

There were a lot of issues that pushed me from the Conservatives to the Greens the straw that broke the camels back for me (not to say it is the most important) was budgets.

Liberal 27 Billion
Green 27 Billion
Conservative 50 Billion
NDP 65 Billion

Chalk up another vote.

I wrote them an email essay about their nuclear policy (among other things)... A few days after the obligatory form letter reply, they sent me a real reply!
