Canadian election

[Refrigerator]

My cynical opinion is that I am going to vote for the devil I know, rather than the devil I am unsure about. What is certain is that I will vote. There is no excuse for failing to exercise your franchise.

After talking to my dad a bit, I've seen that his opinion is also cynical and sort of similar to yours. He's going to vote for the one he thinks will do the least damage. He doesn't know yet, and he doesn't like to discuss his vote, so I'll move on now...

The NDP, I fear, will spend far too much of my tax money on well-intentioned initiatives.  As a high school student, you may not be quite so concerned about this aspect as I am

Actually, in B.C. I remember the N.D.P (I think) spent a LOT of money on the 'Fast Ferries', then found out they couldn't use them because of the waves or some other reason, and sold them off at a WAY lower price, costing us a lot of money. Even though it wasn't really MY money, I still didn't care for it much.

About the different voting system, this is my first time hearing about it, and I think I really like it. When was this proposed? It would be so much better than what we have now. Thank you for that link!

I'm noticing that just about everyone I talk to sort of likes the Green Party, but won't vote for them because "nobody's going to vote for them anyways" and their vote will be wasted. But if all the people that are saying this voted for the Green... As for my reasons to vote for the Green, I think it would be interesting to see if they really could fulfill their goals and objectives. Their health care plan is the most interesting one I've seen, anyways.
For years (ever since I heard some were made) I've liked the idea of electric cars. At first I just wanted one for myself, but then learned they were expensive and impractical (power-wise, only run so far on a full "tank"). But if enough funding were put into research towards them, there would surely be a way to make them less costly and more effective. I saw that the Green Party's platform could certainly and certainly might include something to do with that, especially considering they want to cut down on pollution etc.

Ok, I think I have more to say, but it's late and I have to finish up. I didn't really understand

Second, and most alarming,

this paragraph, due to my lack of political knowledge; 'notwithstanding clause' 'Judiciary'. I will try and find out more tomorrow.

Before I go, it's too late to ask the representatives at the assembly but I think there's probably another way to ask questions of them. I'll try and check that out tomorrow too. But, for now, I'm tired and going to bed. :mellow:
