Hey Rree! Just found your channel, and I like it. I guess this will be your first election that you are old enough to vote in, eh? Do you mind if I ask which way you plan to cast your vote?

@obtree Hey! I'm still up in the air about who id vote for. The campaigns have barley just begun .. there's so much that can happen. I think I'm going to wait to make a more informed decision. Any thoughts yourself? :)

Hi you go talent thank for sharing ;-)

[quack420]

hopefully this video encourages you to do more research since this summary is so simplistic it actually misrepresents what each party wants....

go to cbc.ca and take a fun quiz to find out where you stand on the "political compass" for a somewhat more comprehensive idea of which party you most agree with...

@hdzsound The Contempt of Parliament was caused by the Conservatives not giving the other parties the information they need to make a proper vote(so that they don't get voted against). I would think that this is caused by the minority government. Plus if the oppositon causes an election(especially after 4 elections in 7 years) they are actually less likely to take down the conservatives. I would take 4 years of corrupt government over 4 years of corrupt government with a pointless election.

@hdzsound I Agree All parties do suck right now. I would mostly vote for the BQ (if they were a national party with national interests) because of how much the other parties suck. Mostly the Tories and Grits, The NDP i would not vote for because they have been screwing manitoba for years. I don't support quebec separating however canada would be better off if quebec were a separate country.

Also, "Contempt of Parliament", this is why minority government is good. Without it, Conservator would had just roll till the end of their 4 years, by doing things most Canadian voted(theoretically) against.

@originalUberrape

To get rid of Quebec??

I live in Quebec, I think I will vote for the BQ (for the first time), But I am against separation. All parties just sucks now.

[originalUberrape]

@hdzsound Just because the NDP and Greens are incapable of earning enough votes to form government at the present time, at least they are trying. The BQ does not even try(they don't run in enough seats). For the record, if the BQ ran outside of Quebec i would be tempted to vote for them.

@originalUberrape

I was more or less sarcastic.

I watched the English debate yesterday, and about 1/3 of there replicas was starting with "It is a lie", "This is completely false" and such crap. Nothing really interesting. Looking forward for the french debate tonight (gonna be shit, too =) )

A vote for the NPD or Green Party is the same as for BQ??.They will probably never get the power, too!
