strategic voting
 

If you don't want a conservative winning your riding check out this site:
http://www.projectdemocracy.ca/

It tells you who has the best chance in your riding to beat the conservative running in your area.


from the site:

"More than 60 percent of Canadians do not support Harper and his government's contempt for democracy. Yet, he could win a majority with as little as 35 percent of the popular vote."

Only reason why I don't support Nina grewal as a conservative is she hasn't done shit for my riding and with another term she's going to get a fat pention for doing nothing

Her son was the one who was originally going to run, but got a dui. So her husband threw her in.

Isn't there a HUGE election thread on this already?

hmm increase spending do get out of a deficit, sounds like a good idea. i guess conservatives arnt the way to go then...

75% of Canadians do not support the Liberals, 90% do not support the BQ, 82% do not support the NDP.

Problem, statistics?

Unless someone cole notes the pro/cons of each party.. I probably not gonna vote lol.. I dont know shit about politics and I might as well not randomly pick someone LOL

I would highly recommend you go look at the party pages and find out what they offer. (You're already on the internet!)

If you can't do that, then at least go down on election day and scratch your vote (just draw a line through it, or drop it into the ballot box blank).

Politicians base their platforms on the demographics of people who come down to the polls (Your age and gender is recorded and reported) and until young people start coming out they're not going to start actively promoting platforms that benefit you.

Many people including myself think the NDP and Liberals should merge. Also the BQ are not a national party.

Another good site: http://www.votepair.ca/

Allows you to trade votes.

Start here: http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cana...1/votecompass/

There's only one party i really want to Vote for and I don't even have the option to since they only have candidates in one province.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

that just means a lot of people do not like the Liberals, bloc, and NDP..

ie.
75/100 people surveyed do not support the liberals
In that same group of people 90/100 people do not support the bloc
and again in that same group of people 82/100 do not support the NDP.

where is the problem?

Biggest crock that "vote compass" is. 95% of the time your results will be Liberal. I just hope the CPC get a majority and ax the fucking useless CBC news.

Forget the Marijuana Party... I want to vote for the Cocaine Party

I love how a website named "Project Democracy" is pushing people away from one specific party. Isn't that a little contradictory?

What no hockey night in Canada!!!!

i think he knew that hence the 'problem?' with a question mark.

I said news, not sports. :D

Nina and her husband are the biggest jokes in the EI community.

and from doing absolutely nothing for her riding, if she wins again she'll be getting a 100k per year pension for the rest of her life

federally i'm all conservative, but i'm not supporting her for doing shit all

He's just proving a point that you can use statistics to say whatever you want. If you're going to say that more then 60 percent of Canadians don't support the Conservatives you should tell the other side of thee story that they also show that 75% don't support libs, 90% don't support bloc and 82% don't support NDP.

Edit: I should also add that those are according to that particular poll.

It's called Project Democracy because they feel that Stephen Harper is actively hindering democracy and feel that if he were to win a majority, Canadians would lose some of their rights, freedoms and most importantly their say in the future of their country.
