I urge everyone to sign the petition, our prospect for democracy and change is not dictated by the Prime Minister. May should be involved in the nationally televised leaders debate.

Regardless of who you vote for, stopping a legitimate party from competing should not be decided by the Prime Minister. Harper picking and choosing who he competes against isn't any sort of democracy I want to be involved in.

hey, if we did some of what the greens suggested 10 years ago we would not have increased inflation trough gas prices. Granted, we probably would not have gathered enough money to support some wars for cheap oil in the past...

The green movement starts to become economically interesting, yes even competent. At lest in europe the green party is not a left wing anarchy/communism movement, it usually has economic competence beyond populism, something you can not always expect from the big parties.

I think they and the Liberals support cuts to the Income Tax (which most economist support) and not the GST, to off set any kind of carbon/gas tax. The Income Tax needs to be cut first besides everything else, GST cuts don't do anything. If the Greens and Liberals don't explain the benefits of a carbon tax and how it would specifically help people and business Harper might be able to pick up a lot of fiscally minded people.

Funny how they pledge more forces there just now within a week of an election being called, and not say when they were actually needed months ago or when those in Congress were calling for them.

People who cross the floor generally don't do very well in the next election. It'll depend on how the opposing candidate manages in taking advantage of it.

I don't know man, he's got a lot of supporters... I've seen a lot of 'KHAN' signs in my area, I'm kind of worried. Considering the NDP haven't assigned an MP to my area yet I'm going with Bonnie Crombie, she's running as a Liberal, it also helps that she supported Michael Ignatieff.

Yikes, I wish Iggy or Rae would have won the leadership race. The Liberals really shot themselves in the foot with Dion.

Personally I'm going to vote Liberal as I always have, because I don't think the NDP presents a platform which is practical, and Harper is a horrible PM. Still, I wish one of the parties would actually stand up and pay attention to the horrible deficit for cities, and stand up for Ontario and the GTA. If they did, they'd get all the votes in Ontario for sure. We lose way too much money to the rest of Canada.

woo finally old enough to vote, thinkin liberal is prolly best choice p.s couple u guys live close to me : >

[Troll King]

If you're trying to convince people not to vote Conservative, then you're doing a great job so far.

[kthx]

I am just trying to help my misguided brothers to the north.

[Troll King]

And yet our current government is trying to move in that direction. That's part of the problem.

Look, you're welcome to join in our discussions here, but if all you're trying to do is make a lot of noise with very little substance to prove some misguided point to the Canadian members of this forum who are posting in the American politics thread, then just stop before you lose any more of what little credibility you have. Come on, Wark, I've been feeding you enough in this thread for you to make an actual contribution, but I can only do so much.
