    Time to hit the polls, Canada

    Harper's government was just dissolved under a vote of non-confidence fueled by the liberals and their "coalition" aka bloc quebecois and ndp.

    first time in commonwealth history that something like this happens.


    Elections start may 2nd. Discuss.

    Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss fuuuuuuuuuuuucccccckiiiiiiiiiiiingggggggggggggg fiinaaalllyy ffs!

    Edit:

    Re-elections will be held in early May. Stephen Harper's Conservative government is leading the polls, which makes this all seem pretty silly if you think about it.

    God damnit...

      It's pretty messed up right now, but it's likely the conservatives will win again. I think they should at least get someone else in office. Dude's a wreck and got our hdi down 4 points.

      I'm sick of conservatives in general. Let's all vote rhino party.

            God I miss party rhino xD

            In all seriousness, I think by how things are looking that the conservatives will still be elected but who knows ? For my part, I'm still deciding whether or not I like conservatives. As of now, I think that a new parties should arise.

                Net Neutrality is a huge issue in the US as well, as is the fight for gay rights. Currently there's a movement in Congress to defend the Defense of Marriage Act instead of focusing on creating jobs like they said they would.

                Also, yes to Weed Party. Hash Bash in Ontario, woo!

                  LOL

                  Not much into politics, and I don't live in Canada. But in a simplistic view (if possible), what is it that said harper did? and why would people benefit from a new person in office?

                    That should be a clue to not post in this thread.

                      Whichever government is the one that supports unlimited bandwidth on the internet is the one I support.

                      Some of my best snipers are in Ontario and they have to "spread out" their time in-game. Load of BS if you ask me.

                          Excuse me, but I have the right to learn and discuss about issues in other countries. I don't see anyone harassing people in the Japan thread, so try no to criticize people for showing interest. I truly would like to know what's going on from people actually going through it, not another site.

                            Technically, I should be voting for the NDP or green if I was over 18 (which I am oh so close to being ), but right now all parties really lack a leader capable of running the country. Ignatieff isn't cut out for the job; Harper is a dumbass and hopefully won't be relected; Jack Layton is just evil; and Elizabeth May is absolutely not to be considered. Oh, and we can't forget about the Bloc, who will never have a Prime Minister lol.

                            So hard to choose.
