Canadian Politics

Dare I bring up the topic? Sure why not. I'm a little surprised that nobody more politically minded than myself has brought up the topic already (is there some unwritten rule against it?). What do you think of the coming election? Do you that anything will really change? If so, what? Are people finally fed up with the liberal party

I think it's funny that you asked if we were "finally fed up" with the liberal party.

I've been fed up with them since I started voting. I've never voted for them, or the conservatives, and I don't intend to, unless some major stances change.

I'm a sign-holding, chant-singing, protest-attending, tree-hugging green party supporter. I think as things are, my vote will continue to go 'wasted' on the green party.
And that's that.

You mean the actual Green Party, or NDP? Because the Green Party is actually a very conservative group - and where a lot of red tories (like me) and blue libs are ending up these days. They're socially liberal, but definitely fiscally conservative.

What's the difference between a red torie and a blue liberal?

Official party allegiance, really.

Sorry, that was me: official party allegiance, really!

Maybe it's an idealistic party. Looks good on paper, but doesn't work to well in practice.

That sounds goood to you (and me) because it's what makes sense to us. It's quite the opposite of backguy's political view on both counts though.
