"My Fellow Canadians..." Dept.:
Please vote today. Perhaps these edifying videos will put some things in perspective for you.
If you've decided you're going to vote for the Reform Conservative Party because you're tired of the Martin Liberals, that's your call, and frankly, it's a legitimate one. Being a Canadian, I have no interest being governed by people who want to make us as American as possible, as soon as possible, as radicaly as possible, while smiling that Chuckie Smile and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Its your vote tho - so you go and do what you want with it.
I mean, just look at them...
If you've decided that you're aware that the Libs have made a crapload of mistakes lately (and I'm thinking about during this election campaign, not neccessarily considering the scandals their opponants have been making hay of) but that 1) there's no way that Paul Martin will be leading THAT sinking ship after the next leadership convention and 2) if there was anyone who was going to be really skewered in the current government by the Gomrey Inquiry, then the NDP and Reformers Conservatives would have waited til March for this election as promised by the PM in an attempt to show that he, like the car salesman Bill Macy played in the Cohen Bros. FARGO was "Coh-OPP-ur-atin'", then you might be voting Liberal and God Bless You.
Poh-TAY-Toh...
Poh-TAHHH-Tohh...
If, God Bless You, you're a Quebekker and voting for Monsieur Seperatiste, may I just say "VIVE LE REVOLUTION!!!" now and join you a chorus of the Marseillaise. Seriously, have fun come Referendum time, but if we demand that we get our money back when you're a proud citizen of your own country, don't look so po-faced. It won't serve you well. If the guy didn't want to break things up, Hell, I'd be voting for him - he's one of the few who actually looks like he means what he's saying because he means what he's saying.
Me, I'm voting NDP, because although Jack Layton is what would have happened if Walt Disney, on his deathbed, had said "Get someone in the prop department to make me a Canadian Federalist" before the lesion had burst on his brain, I tend to side with his standpoint on most of the issues, moreso than the "anything to get elected" take his opponents seem to share.
So, in closing, take it from "Rupert, the Election Kitten" who begs you all one last time "Please vote".
...but you might reconsider voting Reform Conservative...
