c9I have a present for you!
As long as you = Canadian citizen (or interested in Canadian politics).
Example: "I want to know if the Green Party has any chance at all in my riding, because I'd kinda like to support them if it will get them a seat."
Another example: "I think Stephen Harper will actually come into my home and steal my baby and force my child to work in a sweatshop with the homosexuals. I want to stop that."
The final example: "I want the Liberals out out out out out. Also, out."
Etc.
The riding profiles start tomorrow! For those of you uninterested, sorry in advance. I will try to post non-election programming for your benefit too.

Cam's Pretty Clearly Left-Leaning Riding Write-ups!
I am planning to do a write-up of several different ridings, showing the candidates, the predictions, maybe a suggestion, and the previous results. And I'll do it for your riding! My goal is to provide information that everyone will find useful, not just people who agree with my politics. All I ask is that you post something you want to know about your riding that will help you decide how to vote. Alternately, tell me your goal for this election. Please be sure to tell me your riding too. Go here to find out.Example: "I want to know if the Green Party has any chance at all in my riding, because I'd kinda like to support them if it will get them a seat."

Date: 2006-01-02 12:07 pm (UTC)- I never want to hear the words "Prime Minister Stephen Harper" in this lifetime;
- I want to punish Jack Layton for helping cause this moronic and unecessary holiday election;
- I can't figure out of Deborah Coyne supports same-sex marriage or not, and frankly, I never thought I'd come to the day where I'd end up voting for HER. Although bearing Pierre Trudeau's love child is kind of cool.
Okay, how do I vote on election day?

Date: 2006-01-02 01:57 pm (UTC)Paul Martin himself committed to calling an election in April(ish). So, while I wasn't that keen on having an election either, I'm hard-pressed to see why a couple of months difference is really pissing people off that much.

Date: 2006-01-02 12:55 pm (UTC)• I vote in Prince-Edward Hastings.
• I’d like to move back to Canada while maintaining my current net buying power.
• I’d also like tohave roughly the same level of access to health care as I have here.*
• I’d like to see Canada remain as liberal (note the small L) as it is now, if not become more so.
• I want to feel safe in most parts of the large city I choose to live in (most likely Toronto or Vancouver).
• I want European-level urban walkability and access to public transit and spaces.
*I can deal with waiting a little longer for doctor’s visits/test/etc... than I do here in exchange for gov’t rather than employer coverage so long as it’s a reasonable amount of time. Say, one month.

Date: 2006-01-02 08:27 pm (UTC)Exactly how much of an effect does the large local student population have on the outcoem of the election and other than the obvious issue of education, how do the local candidates try influencing the voters' decisions?

Date: 2006-01-03 10:00 am (UTC)Last election, Conservatives kicked out the then defense-minister and won by a fairly big margin.
This election, new Liberal candidate. Is PC a shoe-in or does anyone else have a chance?
