I don't particularily care much for these debates, as my vote lands squarely on a party that won't fuck my world over. Paul Martin, as I've said before, really isn't apt for the job. He's made that quite clear since he's been in office. However, with all politics, you must go with the lesser of two (or in this case 4+) evils.
The conservatives are off their rocker. I can't believe such a far right opposition can even have so much support. That being said< I figure that it has something to do with the scandel insomuch that it's similar to the "Vote-for-John-Kerry-because-he-is-not-Bush" argument. Something I can understand, but cannot endorse.
The NDP scare the living hell out of me. I'm sure Layton is a nice guy when he's not being a crazy politician, but as far as I'm concerned the NDP are taking liberalism farther then is both necessary and rational. It seems to me that their M.O. deals with critiquing everyone else and supporting referrendums to such critiques that are totally opposite to what was intended to be implimented. For example, the liberals want to ban handguns, well, the NDP say this is either a last ditch effort for votes, or something the liberals have been totally reluctant to do for the last decade. Instead, they want to ban ALL firearms. I technically agree with this however. The NDP want to make it so everyone loses the capacity to own a firearm (with the only exception those who use them to survive, ie, the far north). I however say that while no normal Tom Dick or Harry should be allowed to own a gun, military and police personalle should be able to own them. This of course doesn't solve all the problems of gun related crime, but it sure as hell breaks one of the possible avenues.
As for the Bloc... well, they're pretty self explanitory.
The liberals, while obviously in the midst of a touchy scandel, seem to have the fewest "bad" policies and the most "good" policies. I don't approve of the people in the party per se, especially how so many of them are blantant crooks. But I do approve of the policies such as Healthcare (because I, unlike many of you, don't mind to pay out a small amount for my, and my neighbour's healthcare), and Military policy. They are the most moderate of any of the other parties in the running, and since I am moderate myself, I have a bias toward these kinds of policies.

That would be because they haven't been given a chance to yet. I guarantee you that they're no better than the rest.

I believe that your MP hasn't begun campaigning yet because he wants to (somewhat) respect the population (by not filling their minds with annoying politics! That or he has been given a limited budget similar to the ones they gave to their candidates in Quebec). And anyway, the Liberals are inadequate to protect our form of healthcare system, it's not like they prevented Alberta to allow private healthcare.
FUCK

Well, the forum contingent of Canadians routinely weighs in on issues in other countries' politics, so it's only fair that everybody else should come in and comment on Canadian affairs.

Oh crap, I'm already fearing a Conservative majority....
When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself,
First as a dark demon,
As a demon it uses its power to reign death upon the land;
and then it dies.
However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero...

And all that is true.
However, I do want to stress that it is not the system itself that is flawed. It's the management (or rather, mismanagement) that has caused it to "fail" as it seems. The system does, and can, work. It just needs to be managed in such a way that allows it to succeed.
The system, for all intents and purposes is perfect. However, even a perfect system can fail when not run correctly.
On that though, we now have a conservative minority government, and Paul Martin is stepping down

I can't believe that the Torys won. They only won by about 20 seats I believe? Can't wait for them to screw up the government in the following years. On the positive side since it is a minority gov't the conservatives need another party to side with them to have any real say in parliment. I don't really see the NDP or the Liberals jumping up for the task. One thing that I would like to see done however is the Torys plan for Canadian Soveriegnty. We need to protect our resources in the Arctic.
