2015 Canadian Election

[The Krogan]

Really, I found it hard to make a decision on who to vote for in this election, I really just don't like any of the parties, they're all spouting the same thing, and nothings gonna change no matter how blue, red, or orange in the face they get from yelling that catchphrase.

If Clan Urdnot was a party, you would make a decision easily.

They're all spouting the same thing? Have you even been keeping up with the election coverage? They most certainly are not.

[Stormaen]

I'm not Canadian (unfortunately) so can't vote but I watched the CBC's interview with all the three 'main' party leaders.

IMHO, Trudeau came off best. He seemed a little vague and idealistic at times but he seemed to have genuine passion and drive. Harper seemed wooden and conceited. Rather than present ideas or answers, he repeated party lines time and again. However, the worst was Mulcair. He sounded disingenuous and something in the way he presented himself seemed to suggest he didn't quite believe what he was saying.

If I was Canadian and able to vote, pretty sure it'd be the Liberals getting my X.

In preparation for the vote tallies as the election evening and night progresses, I will leave this link to CBC's overview of national results here. I don't have TV but that doesn't mean I won't be following the election coverage and vote results as they roll in. Remember guys, election results start rolling in as soon as the Newfie polls close!

Remember to keep it civil as the results roll in later this evening. We're mature individuals who can rise above ideological differences.

I'll gladly take Cameron over Harper any day of the week. He at least has integrity, unlike Harper.

Well, at least Harper didn't f*ck a pig, that's always a plus too.

What do you mean? Do you mean that he is corrupt?

No, Cameron actually literally fucked a pig. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piggate

What's with all these weird scandals!? I mean peegate, drinking blood, and now this. What the hell politics?

[The Liberated Territories]

I am currently in the US and aren't voting, and I don't really match up ideologically to any of Canada's major parties, but I wish all the parties good luck nonetheless. This will certainly be interesting.

Hey tlt, you mentioned a long time ago that the libertarian party here is pretty moderate compared to the others, why's that?

[Kazirstan]

Well, I voted NDP. Here's hoping it was worth it and the Cons don't win my riding again!

[Fanosolia]

W00t! Same here. They had no chance here in my riding, but it's principles.

Well, honestly, if I knew the NDP had no chance, I would have voted Liberal. But I think that the NDP have a chance to pull off a victory in my riding, a small chance, but it's there.

[Canadian Davsland]

I voted NDP hopefully my riding doesn't go to those fascist RefCons

[Nation of Quebec]

How soon until the votes are counted in the Atlantic provinces?

I think if we see the Liberals sweep the region they'll be in for a good night across the country.

Do we really have to jump back on the "Tories are not fascists" train?

-support for a flat tax over, well, no tax
-decentralization of state services instead of well, abolishment
-open to more environmental regulations
-fairly mainstream in the culture wars, despite reinstating Lauren Southern after the "scandal"

etc.

I'm sure the refcons want a complete reorgnization of the state's economy on corporatist grounds and a cultural rebirth associated with extreme militarism and nationalism. /sarc

What time will the results be out in UTC?

I agree the Harper Conservatives are probably one of the most authoritarian governments we've ever had, but I wouldn't say they're fascists. I think that word is terribly overused by people who have no idea what it means.

Nope but they do have those tenancies.

That has been their policy for the last 10 years my friend.

True. Their more like Far Right, Neo Con Authoritarians.

[Parti Ouvrier]

I think you'll be disappointed with Trudeau in the next few years.

You won't know Trudeau will do poorly until he actually has time to PM. Anyway, Trudeau will be 100 times better that Harper.

A liberal Trudeau will be one hundred times better than conservative Harper! Interesting view coming from a self-confessed (sig), socialist.
