I'm thinking of voting NDP just to send the message that I would rather see public policy swing further towards the left than the right.
The Liberals don't really deserve my vote and the Conservatives are the Alliance so there's no way I'm voting for them.
I might end up voting Liberal anyway though because the Conservatives worry me. They don't answer questions about their military plans, they just tell us that we need a bigger better military. I don't want anybody killed in my name, terrorists included.
"Violence begets violence".... its amazing that some idiots can thump on bibles for years and never learn that lesson.

I used to vote Liberal but now NDP all the way.
I feel like I'm forced to vote for the lesser of the two evils (Lib/PC) this election haha! So I'm just going for the underdog. I feel they have a better ideas & future anyways.

the ndp will do much worse then the liberals have... i would leave the country if they took office...
i'm voting for the green party though, its the only party that makes sense really... all the others just want to be in power to get rich
thats not what it should be about

why dont all you guys voting for ndp vote for a party with substance? ndp will turn canada into a communist state. the conservatives are no different then george bush's republicans...
i mean if your just throwing away your vote to the ndp since they'll never win... why not vote for a party that would actually advance canada? ie the green party... there are green parties around the world and they all have gradually been gaining ground since the green party as a whole was started...
dont buy into the hype... there are more choices then liberal, conservative and ndp... even if your massicistic towards the planet and dont agree with the green party there still are better choices then the big 3... heck i'd vote for the bloc before i voted for them... at least the bloc would get all those french signs off our roads

Dalton lied, but I would think that's an bad apple in the bunch.

Green Party is like a SPECIALIZED group.
They have they're own specific interest (the environment) and it might not be for the good of the country but for the good of their cause.
Trust me I've thought about voting for them, but that would mean a lot of tree hugging changes. I'm all for that, but I don't want any of those people imposing their ideas on others by making laws. I don't want to vote for a group that has a #1 priority = environment, I wanna group to RUN the country PROPERLY & FAIRLY - which hasn't happened yet.

well no party will run the country properly... it never has happened and never will as long as democracy is the way here... why not at least clean up the smog in toronto? make the air cleaner for us all?
the environment should be our number 1 priority because once its gone so are we... who cares how much money a governemnt can save or put to healthcare... if we're still pumping exhaust fumes into the air its all going to go...
everybody takes the earth for granted... but its been dying for 100 years and sooner or later is gonna say sorry no more oil... sorry i can't be bothered to keep the ozone up... then we're all invited to a bbq.. litterally
