NDP - always liked Jack Layton, but our shared love of Asian handjobs clinched my vote!

I voted Conservative.
I don’t know why I bothered to vote, I’m in Richmond Hill and I think it’s been Liberal for like decades straight.

I didn’t realize until I got there (the polls) that the names are last first and first last. Never even realized that Ed Fast would become Fast Ed (Fast Eddie ftw!)

LOL. every one of your post is funny. I like you
I voted Bloc Quebecois by the way. NPD was my second choice but it seems it was the first choice of alot of people here.
Holy crap! The conservative guy running my area actually won.
I’m really surprised as to how badly the Liberal and Bloc did.

Yep.

Secondly, our marginal tax rate is barely higher than yours, yet we provide a myriad of services that your country doesn’t, yet you make that sound like a bad thing? Our financial priorities are different, but so is our culture.
People are just like corporations, they need investment to grow, and the lack of investment in people is (IMO) the reason for United States continued decline in the global stage. Don’t look to corporations to act outside of they’re own short-run interests.
Government is supposed to be “for the people” not the corporation.

Good stuff.
Abbotsford.
I don’t understand why people are diametrically opposed to the purchase of the fighter jets. We need to upgrade from the CF-18 which was manufactured in the late 1970’s. People don’t take into account that as aircraft age the price of maintenance rises exponentially, especially in high performance fighter jets.
Edit: I realize they are expensive, as are most military purchases, and that there will be a multitude of controversies that arise with such expenses, but it has to be done sooner or later, no?
I voted NDP btw.
can somebody give me an crashcourse in canadian politics? It would be highly appreciated.
as a start, what does NDP stands for? and what are theire main issues.
Thanks in advance from floriboy.

I thought this book was funny, not just politics it has some history and a little about our government too. Light slightly informative reading.
Written by a Canadian btw.

Liberals gets elected by presenting themselves as left-center but govern like right-center
conservative are right, not right-center
