ugh... yet another reason not to vote
I'm confused. Shouldn't the "choices" be pfan, NSW, lmac and me?
Beav, what foreign policy experience do you guys have other than being next to Canada, and, in some instances, being able to see Canada from afar? That doesn't make you qualified to.....oh, wait.
[...] I'm Conservative and i'm happy with it thanks! [...] i could be NDP, or green party too [...]

He just needs to stop being such an idealist
Heh...this reminds me of the time I whimsically suggested that we return to Old English spellings of "th," (Þ/þ, as in "thorn"; ð as in "them").
I'm interested...what do those of you on "the mainland" think about Danny Williams' ABC (Anything But Conservative) campaign?
As someone who hates the Conservatives I like it.
As a realist, it seems like a bad idea if the Conservatives win the election and get a majority this time...
I love it, but I'm not a Newfoundlander! Its great for Liberals because Danny Williams gets press right across the country. But as was said, its not going to be good if a majority happens.
On the Danny Williams issue: I love the guy! Why don't he run for federal politics? I know most people like politictions from other places! But with his newfie charm and his sort of independent streak, OH forget it, independence isn't going to get him anywhere in federal politics! Does anyone know if he's ever considered federal politics or talked about it?
Canadian federal candidate: 'Kill gays' - UPI.comAn independent Canadian federal candidate in northern Ontario may face hate crime charges for his "execute gays" remarks at a high school, police said.
Candidate David Popescu told some 200 students Tuesday afternoon at Sudbury Secondary School "God would hurt" those who had an abortion, Sun Media reported.
Soon afterward, a student asked Popescu's opinion of gay marriage, to which he responded homosexuals should be executed, the report said.
It wasn't reported who contacted the Greater Sudbury Police Service to complain of hateful speech, but Sun Media said Popescu repeated his statement in a telephone interview.
"A young man asked me what I think of homosexual marriages and I said I think homosexuals should be executed," he said. "My whole reason for running is the Bible and the Bible couldn't be more clear on that point."
Deputy Police Chief Frank Elsner told the news agency the complaints were being taken seriously.
"We are actively conducting a criminal investigation in this matter," he said.
Canada's federal election is scheduled for Oct. 14.
My initial enthusiasm over this campaign has waned considerably and I'll be more interested in the Palin-Biden debate tomorrow night than anything.
Did anyone watch it? I caught the last 45 mins - it was pretty civil. Harper remained pretty calm and unrattled despite being on the defensive most of the night.
Dion did quite well - if only his English was as good as his French.
God help you if it weren't though, you know?If you take that debate as an example, and compare it to the US debates, its totally different.
God help you if it weren't though, you know?
How common is it for native-English-speaking Canadians to be sufficiently fluent in French to follow a debate in it? And are your politicians all expected to be fluent in both languages?
