I have a friend who lives in Dartmouth. Military family, former member of the military, etc.

Now a die hard Liberal and when I've talked to her, she said the number of people of she knows voting Con is literally seven. Apparently they are really, REALLY fucking hated by a lot in the military at the moment (not really surprising though).

Spoiled ballot. Personally, I'd fill in an option for Sauron. At least he fought for the marginalized portions of Middle Earth. Orcs get a rough time of it over there, I've heard.


(Sorry for off-topic guys)

Have you heard of a book, The Last Ringbearer by Kirill Eskov? It details a concept like that, portraying Orcs and Mordor completely differently.

I imagine so, but I can't think of an example. It's defiantly the first I have seen. We will get a better idea once we see Quebec and Ontario though this is pretty impressive.

Still a good sign for the Liberals and a bad one for the Cons and NDPs

Hell, if Calgary goes Liberal, I'm convinced. Calgary's been Conservative for decades.

Really? What about the platform aligns with your views? I'm asking because I read the party platforms before voting in the advanced polls.
