so as you may or may not know, Ontario is having a provoncial election on October 10th. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Canadian electoral process, there are many parties, but usually, they are all miles behind the Liberals mad and the Conservatives frown, except in Manitoba where the NDP biggrin rule all (they're like uber-liberals). the two other major parties are the Bloq Quebecois whatever (only concerned with issues that affect Quebec, and therefore only get votes in Quebec) and the Green party wink, which is the environmental party.

So the other day, i got a phone call from my local Liberal representative's staff. She announced who she was and asked, "So can Mr. Yassir Naqvi count on your vote come election day?"
I replied, "Sorry, but no. I'm voting Green." wink
Then she laughed
... laughed!! eeek
She said, "Okay then, have a nice day!" and hung up, still bemused. Apparantly the Liberals consider the Green party to be a joke. If you aren't voting for them, but you aren't voting Conservative either, you're no threat whatsoever.
how cocky!! mad
So if you're voting this election, don't vote for the lesser of two evils (the Liberals) cuz they're kind of condescending assholes. Vote Green wink, or NDP biggrin and give those jerks a good scare!! tongue

Wow. I barely know how to keep track of our politics here, there's a whole lot more going on in yours lol. I don't know if I could follow it.
I always deal with political calls by saying "no, I'm doing a write in for Santa Claus" they usually just hang up on me. I don't vote for Santa, but I also don't think it's some twit who's making minimum wage for a campaign's business who the hell I'm voting for. (Even if I'm planning on voting for who they're representing wink)

Ontario politics suck, as do all Canadian politics. same old crap. I moved recently and realized that I have two of those funny yellow envelope thingies telling me where I can vote. maybe I'll vote twice. I tent to vote for the least likely to succeed, although this time maybe I'll vote for them all this way no one will get the $1.75 for my vote.
