i still think it's an illusion tho to keep the working class busy and comfortably numb so we don't ask too many questions..
Yet it affects visible change, you along with your fellow citizens get to cast a vote to decide who gets to run the next term in parliament/office. I dont know if your from the states or not but you also get to vote on senate/cabinet members. short of direct democracy, which would never work anyways, his seems to be the most effective method of governance we have. Maybe they want you to believe it doesnt change anything so your less of a threat to them.

maybe u're right, i'd say it all depends on the voice of reason which the people elect, i dont know how they do things in canada, but here in the US of A they usually kill the peeps who try to make a real change, and ironically that real change only comes when the politicians turn against their own, which is something most aren't willing to do cuz they risk jeopardizing their careers as well as their lives.
just goes to show tho what we are really after; freedom from governments, and so long as these kinds of politics exist we will never truly be free.

Very important correction.
He does not "seem" weird. He is weird.
Like creeper weird.
If only you understood french, you would immediately think the same.

I do understand french. I just feel voting for a party based on the personality of the candidate is... well, less than ideal. But I get it I suppose.

I don't know man. I'll just give it to the NDP I guess.
Trying my best to put my personal convictions aside and not go conservative.
The problem is I like a third of every party's policies and the other two thirds are either meh or similar to each other.

The conservative track record is a joke, and they've spent millions upon millions on ridiculous false advertising.
Half the shit they claim Trudeau is going to do isn't even true.
If Cons win I have a feeling we'll be back in an election within a couple months at max. There is no way they are getting a majority this time around.
If NDP had a chance of winning the seat in my riding I would have voted NDP, personally I prefer more of their platform. Problem is, they aren't, where I am it's between Liberal and Conservative and not a fucking chance in hell I will vote Harper in. He's a disgrace to the whole country.

I'm American and I don't like any of these candidates. The only one that has anything going is Bernie Sanders but we all know he is not going to win. I give up on my country. It doesn't matter anyways in the end.

There should be a Canadian forum, or at least a "Who are you Canadians going to vote for" thread.

The problem I'm hving is the fact that there are no important issues... Nothing anyone is proposing seems groundbreaking or even important...
Basically, my ideal would be to keep harper so we keep his foreign experience, but only as a minority so the Libs and NDP can control the country....
Then again....

Conservative economics (Low taxes for businesses, minimal government investment, let the private so it mentality) NDP universal child care (Fed kids do better in school. Doing better in school is good ofr the economy, less drop out, less crime, less addiction) Liberal pot laws. (great source of revenue, great source of direct savings because less prisoners and it'll unclog the system)
The rest is of much lesser importance to me even if the dollar amounts are bigger.
I'll spend sunday reading all the promises and figure out which are plausible, which are useless and figure from there...

"Yes you dimwitted americans, other countries exist. Please refrain form turning this into a thread about your country."
You expect respect from Americans with that attitude? Canadia a country?
