Big Cliff Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 I have been reading everything I can find on this upcomming election and here is what it boils down to; I am an idiot! If I vote Liberal I am an Idiot If I vote Consertive I am an idiot If I vote NDP I am an idiot If I vote for anyone else they haven't got a chance so I just wasted my vote and I am an idiot If I don't vote, I am an Idiot
outllaw Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) exactly. as we lived thru years of promises cliff. WHO is more honest. maybe ghandi,the pope the dali lama, mother Theresa . I don't know either. Edited October 10, 2015 by outlaw
DRIFTER_016 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Actually #4 is not a wasted vote if enough people have the courage to do it. It will send a strong message to the top parties when they see that they all lost votes to an under dog. I plan to vote for the only alternative to the big three as I would hate myself if I voted Blue, Red or Orange in this election. Send a message Cliff and vote for one of the under dogs in your area!!!
Big Cliff Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Posted October 10, 2015 Regardless of who gets in, will they really care who the underdog is/was? I am not trying to be smart here, for the first time in my life I feel like no matter what I do it isn't going to make a difference. I would love to have some logical direction here, I think it is important. my grand daughter just had a decission about "who" to vote for and for the first time ever I had to say "I don't know"!

Mike Pike Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Hey, you could always go and spoil your ballot. 'Course that would make you an idiot. lol
davey buoy Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 Me either Cliff,all I know if I want to complain,I at least have to pick someone.As said,not easy this time around .
OhioFisherman Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 LOL, liberals here call me a conservative, conservatives call me a liberal. If you're disliked by both you may be doing something right?
Yellow Fever Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 In Canada we typically vote someone out and not necesarily vote someone in...I have a feeling it will be a minority, If only we had a crystal ball.
FloatnFly Posted October 10, 2015 Report Posted October 10, 2015 you can always vote not to vote, those votes are counted as well

I would love to have some logical direction here, I think it is important. my grand daughter just had a decission about "who" to vote for and for the first time ever I had to say "I don't know"! The NDP have never held power at the federal level; however, they have helped get a lot of social programs in Canada either by holding the balance of power in a minority or just having enough to support for the other parties to realize that they cannot completely ignore their ideas. Other parties such as the Green Party or the Marijauna party can also influence the government if they receive support. If it is a minority government, the few seats that they do win may be very important. Even if they do not win enough seats to hold the balance of power; support to these parties can send a message that people support their causes. Increased support for the Green Party tells the other parties that the environment matters; support for the Libertarian party indicates that people want smaller government, support for the Marijauna party indicates that people do support the legalization of marijauna. If support for these parties increase; the mainstream parties will realize that these issues matter to people and they will need to address them.
Cast-Away Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 With all of the turmoil in the world just make sure to vote for a party that will protect our country both here and abroad.
Old Man Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I always base my decision on who to vote for on this one truth. All governments (civic, provincial and federal) have the power to tax you, and if you refuse they can confiscate property or jail you or both. So basically, when you vote for someone, you're giving them access to your money, property and wealth. I ask myself, "Who is going to spend the least amount of my money and treat the money they do take in taxes with respect and not waste it?" Edited October 11, 2015 by Old Man
mr blizzard Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Cliff u know what to do , there are enough common sensed git er done people on this board to start our own party , we r frugal, smart and have representitives all over this country
mr blizzard Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 and when we have our conventions we don't have to rip the tax payers off at 100 bucks per person for dinner, we just have to drum up some grup from recipies from the cooking thread, moose, pig skins with hamburger rolled in bacon , complimented with your famous turkey pot pie along with some French onion soup, and then we just bring a bunch of tents to hang out in the hosting members back yard, I hope sue does not mind. has potential
Fisherman Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Anyone but Harper! Got my vote in at the advance polling station this afternoon I wish we could build a moat around the golden horse and then they could stick it up their Vote for either of the two clowns and we'll be in red for so long even our grandchildren won't be able to pay it off.

Sounds like harpers scare tactics are working
ccmtcanada Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 I always vote based on who does the most for me locally. Which candidate will fight for my home town and be successful? So I do my homework on the local candidates. In some ways I wish we could vote for PM as well as our local MP.
Fisherman Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 Sounds like harpers scare tactics are working How about a reality check.
dave524 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 As a gunowner , Conservative has been the only choice for over 40 years, oops, did vote Reform once when Kim Campbell shafted us.
gaspumper Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 If you think you got shafted then wait and see how bad you get shafted if Trudeau gets in,with Wynne pulling his strings.
leaf4 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 If you think you got shafted then wait and see how bad you get shafted if Trudeau gets in,with Wynne pulling his strings. Another victim of fear mongering lol
