Canadian Federal Election

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Please vote in the poll only if you know what the parties are up to, and not because of an idealogical slant. You can read more about the parties here. The ones currently represented in the House of Commons are really the only parties with a chance of continuing to get seats, and the Conservatives and the Liberals are more or less the only parties with a chance of winning the election, though a minority government is possible.

Canadian Election Called For October 14th

The Globe and Mail

I would vote for the Conservative Party, personally. I think they're doing the right thing by keeping Canadian troops in Afghanistan and helping the Canadian military (which desperately needed money and supplies), they passed the Federal Accountability Act, support reform of the Senate (which will make it more democratic), and are trying to keep good relations with America (rather than the anti-American attitude propagated by Liberals to get votes) as well as having lowered the GST (a tax every Canadian pays on a regular basis - you pay it more or less every time you buy something from a store - which Harper cut from 7% to 5%). With all this done in only two years, and with a minority in the House, I think they've done a good job.

Polling indicates that most Canadians seem to favour the Conservatives.
