Beyond Poll: 2015 Canadian Federal Election

[HiTempguy1]

I dunno why this hasn't been made yet, we seem to make it with every other election that goes on

Vote in the poll and then post who you voted for? Why? So you can post later if you've changed your position

Edit-
I am voting conservative... for now. I don't like the other leaders wishy-washy foreign policy, and I don't particularly care if Canada is liked on the world stage if we are doing something for the betterment of the world. I do dislike the TPP but that is going through no matter what, we will be an economic pariah if we don't (yay global economy, f*&ked either way!)

I also think the NDP's $15/h minimum wage federally is silly, it does not take into account regions which makes it a dud. At least $15/h can be slightly justified in an Albertan economy (sort of).

I voted for Harper. Because Trudeau isn't ready.

Nice hair though.....

I am spoiling my ballot.

Vote Green Party as an act of defiance knowing very well that they have no chance anyway. Seems more civilized than spoiling your paper.

[CompletelyNumb]

Green party would be a better candidate then NDP and Liberals anyways.

I don't care who you vote for as long as it's not for mulcair. That guy makes me want to vomit anytime i see him. He's a Quebec politician who's done absolutely nothing for our country. Any story Ive read about him in the papers has him so out of touch with reality that I'm surprised if he even knows where Alberta is.

I did vote the NDP for the provincial election but there's no way in hell i can vote In mulcair. I can't relate in any way to mulcairs style of politics. I hope AB's aren't stupid enough to vote for mulcair but based on all the Harper hate on Twitter and Facebook I won't be surprised.

Thankfully it's a long election so we can try and talk some sense into the NDP idiots.

The fact is, we are pretty screwed federally just like we were provincially in the last election.

Do you revote in the most experienced candidate and the one who better presents him/herself on the stage , yet the same one who has let us tank in recent years? Or do you vote in an inexperienced leader who may do an good job but is most likely to tank even worse?

I hate Harper and the Conservatives a fair amount, but I'm not sure we have any viable options.

[HiTempguy1]

I dont think its exactly "fair" to say Harper "tanked" the economy. The global economy did that.

He may not have done the best job though for sure.

Conservative.

[btimbit]

Sick of Harper, other candidates are even worse. Undecided but likely voting Conservative

[Xtrema]

Green because I don't want to vote for the other 3 idiots

[The_Penguin]

Conservative, 'cause Alberta.

Best of a bad bunch really. NFW am I voting NDP , or Liberal so....

[ExtraSlow]

I really want to vote Harper/PC, I really do. THat's where I think my fiscal/ideological home is.

Problem is, Harper has really pissed me off for several years, so I don't see how I can vote for him. I see many parallels to the recent provincial election. His government has become stagnant and arrogant and thus, unpalatable. I don't blame the economy on him, but I do blame him for the bills he passed and the statements he's made.

Good alternatives? I don't know, the liberals seem closest to me ideologically. I don't care if Justin is young, that doesn't scare me. Green Party is decent.

Federal NDP doesn't work for me.

I may spoil the ballot. I may wait until closer to the election and vote strategically based on the riding by riding prediction from threehundredeight. Those guys seem pretty accurate.

Im' a bit of an election geek, I really LIKE reading the polls and making predicitons and watching the results roll in. This year, I'm just sick about the whole thing.

You shouldn't really look at any other economy, than our biggest partner (~80%), the US. Their MASSIVE recovery since 2007 and consumption. Stock market almost tripled since the bottom, housing doubled, unemployment halved, record corporate profits....many of our key exports and commodoties hit record highs during this time, oil, wood, copper, cereals etc. or near record highs. We aren't Greece, indebted by conservatives to foreign central banks lol.

Somehow, again, as with Alberts during the bjggest oil boom in history, the CONservatives ran debt abd deficit. We are blessed with the biggest, most resource rich country on the planet, with very few people.... and we run deficit under CONservatives?

This period was an extraordinary gift and opportunity, and corporate welfare, tax cuts to the very top , and criminal CONservatives completely wasted it.

So it's not a matter of "its not that bad".

Frankly, i dont believe it could have been worse even f you tried.

Criminal imo the way Canada is blead dry and indebted to very special interests.

[Sugarphreak]

[Toma]

And now, the recession is just starting.

keep that in mind.

Just like in the US, CONservatives pile on debt, while lying about fiscal responsibility.

Reagan (con) tripled US debt. Bush Sr (con) doubked US debt. Clinton (lib) leveled off debt, and turned over a budget surplus. Bush Jr (con) doubled debt. Obama (lib) despite taking over the worst economy since the dirty 30s hasn't doubled debt yet, got them obamacare, gay rights, historic nuclear deal with Iran, and is dramatically reducing deficit.

Same as hear. Harper took over a 7 year stretch of.Liberal surpl7s, and turned it into 8 years of debt, durong the US recovery. How?

Crooks and liars.

The data and trends are non disputable. Fear, denial, people scared of change.... only reason closet hider, warhawk Harper has any support.

Lol Toma, you are comparing apples to oranges here. Completely off the deep end as usual.


Probably voting conservative, I can't stand Harper though.
