How bizarre that you should make such a post after me spending 2 hours the other day learning about the main Canadian federal political parties. Im no normally that sad but I was inspired by a news article I read to check out what each was about. As far as I could see from the NDP website (when I finally found it) they seem to be all about their leader, I couldnt actually find another raison d'etre.

That is one impressive vote for the greens, Im not a fan of the Conservatives at all. Any party that puts "defence of marriage" and expansion of the military top of their priority list is unlikely to garner my undying support. Vote for the CAP - Canada Action Party - their main tenet is the prevention of the annexation of Canada as the 51st US state. Superb
