Who is ♞ The dark horse?

Who will you vote for?

Firstly, there are those dissing CBC.ca's Vote Compass. Written by a Phd. student, the Twitterverse says, it is hardly an unbiased means by which you can determine where to place your precious vote.

It is important, I thought, to look at what has happened in previous elections. Who is still hanging around? Who oughtta be hung?! And what are these people saying about their platforms?

The great thing, in one respect, is how the Internet save EVERYTHING! CBC's Canada Votes 2011, has much info.

The Canadian Press has a link on CBC's page, an interactive webpage, which shows the seats in parliament, actually links to the member who sits in the seats. Thought that funny. The Party Leader's seat is marked with a crown!

I've written about questions to ask your candidates previously. Truth is, we are carrying on. Our view is blocked by signage, candidates are running door-to-door, appearing in the Media wherever they will take them.

I've had questions from my US blog friends, we can blame The Colbert Report!

Colbert talks Canadian politics

Mock conservative commentator Stephen Colbert, who has a history of poking fun at Canadians on "The Colbert Report," is at it again.



Rick Mercer explains us in Canada...
There is lots of info about us. I am doing well, though. Lanark Frontenac Lennox Addington is a huge riding. I'm still rather interested in some of the other candidates.
Here is my son-in-law, who is running against Pierre Poilevre, in Nepean-Carleton.
There are some who are recycling the signs. The web pages could be recycled, too! My riding, #147, has many of the same characters!

The GLobe & Mail has a page. There, Jason Brennan, an assistant professor of philosophy at Brown University, is the author of The Ethics of Voting, tells us: Be a smart voter – Canada needs you
From the sublime


to the ridiculous!

It is discouraging to read that politics is as bad on your side of the border as it is on ours. The right seems much better a coming up with a catchy phrase to convince the voter to come over to their side.
I fear that we are heading back 100 years where workers had no rights and the land had no friends.

I agree with Martha. Our politics is really depressing right now.

This is such a beautiful tribute to your wonderful Nanny. I wish every family could have a matriarch like her.
