Finally, some NDP ads...

The NDP isn't running TV ads yet, they're instead doing online ads. Not bad actually, very focused and reasonable, like the rest of their campaign has been so far. As instructed by Jack Layton, I am passing it on!

Oh crap. Does this mean that I'm actually going to have to think about my vote this year? Last time it was just a process of voting for the only party I thought could beat the one I didn't want to see win.

Well, there's two schools of thought outside Quebec:

1. Vote for the party whose policies you support, or
2. Vote for a party you don't support, but probably can beat a party you really don't support.

In case #2, you are guaranteed to get an MP whose policies you don't support. :)

But to answer more fairly, I'd recommend looking at the results in your riding last time. If Party X really has no chance, then looking at Party Y makes more sense.

Well, it was more of a case of there being two major parties whose policies I don’t really support wholeheartedly, and one party whose policies I oppose vehemently. So seeing one of the first two parties win over the other didn’t matter nearly as much as seeing the third party lose. And knowing my riding...

I really wish expats could chose their ridings. :-).
