Yeah. I just might go for Mulcair too. I'm curious to see what an NDP government looks like.
Curious to see what NDP can do at the Federal level, but a little leary because I grew up in Saskatchewan which had NDP leadership for quite some time before Alberta's recent election of them.
Good social support systems (disability in Saskatchewan paid me more than any other province, and had more and better-trained staff on hand for dealing with all sorts of health issues), but the roads and highways are probably the worst in the country. Also oil money and mining operations jumped ship out of Saskatchewan into Alberta due to the government regulations on their businesses. Have friends family that moved to Alberta from Saskatchewan years back; many are still not yet comfortable with the recent provincial election results -- expressing concerns that within a year from now their jobs will be gone.
Just as long as we have a minority government whatever the result is, we should at least be alright. There's no real good option though -- even a bunch of the support for Liberals shifted to the NDP due to the NDP becoming a "less worse" option back when they voted against the anti-terrorism bill but the Liberals helped push it through.

I'm going with NDP too. Harper has to go and I want to give the NDP to show what they can do federally. They've never had the chance. Conservatives have been selling off the country to foreigners and doing a piss poor job of representing Canada on an environmental level. FUCK HARPER IN THE GOAT ASS

I usually vote NDP, but I'll probably go with a strategic Liberal vote this time. The NDP isn't at all likely to win in my riding, but the Liberals have a good shot at taking back the seat from the Conservatives.

Willing to support Conservatives at the provincial level in some areas I have lived, but have no love for the gong show Harper's team have been performing at the national level.
Would vote Bloc in this election, but they don't run candidates outside of Québec.

The Conservatives aren't all bad; they even made efforts to turn back prior legislation on gun control that the Liberals had introduced in the 90s -- they managed to get rid of a portion of the gun registry and even filed to have the previous records of the registry destroyed.
Wait, Patlal is one of us gun-toting Canadians, right?

Currently in one of the prairie provinces, but I move around.
Most Canadians do live in the major cities though, that is accurate -- there are more people in Toronto than in the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan combined.
Harper developed his career as an Alberta MP though, it's not surprising that he would pass a bill that good-ole prairie boys could approve of.
Know that Pat is not against gun control though, was just poking a little fun because different parts of party platforms appeal to different types of people.

Yeah ok, I could see how you could know people with guns in the praries. In all honesty, it's a pretty rare few that I meet that actually own firearms.

Yes, the smart Canadian kind. Not the retarded American kind. When you're shining the barrel of your gun reciting the bible to yourself, you've gone too far.

That I can respect.
Unless of course; - you are convinced that you actually need that gun to prevent psycho gunmen with guns from gunning down your family. - you are convinced that without guns, only criminals have guns - you defend gun violence with the spoon making you obese analogy and somehow believe it to be a logical argument

I don't even lock my door If guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns. I live in NY. Getting a pistol permit is a nightmare. I've never even tried. I just have long guns
I have no fucking idea what that last one was about.

Well in that case you are a moderate Conservative that have managed not to stray too far right to lose all sense of logic.

Yeah, it is definitely an area thing. When I was living in Montréal and attending University, no one I knew of in the city owned firearms or had even been hunting. By contrast, I learned firearm safety and went out on hunting trips before the age of 10. I worry more about bears, coyotes, and mountain lions getting at the animals than I do about invaders breaking into my property.
Even then, the Conservatives were only really able to repeal the law as it pertained to hunting rifles and shotguns -- the handguns and tactical rifle registration still stands untouched, and they are more for collector's sake than anything, since only people specially authorized by the government (usually due to matters such as working in remote and high-risk areas) are allowed to take them out of their house without a lockbox. A lockbox can transport a gun to a licensed shooting range for any target enthusiasts if my comprehension is correct. We also still have special tests that have to be passed related to gun and hunting safety before qualifying for ownership.
Honestly, for things like target practice I prefer archery.

I am a fiscal conservative and a social liberal who believes guns are not the problem. Assholes are.
