I have been keeping tabs on the elections from various websites (politics in general are a hobby of mine)and I was wondering who is planning on voting and who are you voting for? I don't want to turn it into a political debate (we all know how those turn out on the boards). I am more curious than anything else!

But my class was part of the 'Youth campaign' or whatever, when they get an entire school to vote as if they were 18.
I voted Green party, as they have the best approaches concerning the environment, governmental spending, and honestly, I want them to get at least ONE seat this year.
Did you know that one vote for the Green party is equivalent to almost 600 votes for any majority party? That means that they have such a tiny chance of making it. :/ Boo to that.

Hmm, pretty interesting. I know I would vote Conservative if I were to ever move to Canada. And who knows, maybe one day I will...

although I live in Canada, pay taxes and grew up here, I was born in the USA so I can't. I listen to all the debates in my business classes and economics and feel so out of the loop. I haven't really followed it because I am not entitled to vote anywhere

Myself and my DH are both voting. This is amazing, bec. he's 28 and has never voted. he hates politics.
I love NDP and will likely vote them...but would vote Conservative to get Paul out for a while. I am def. left wing, but we need some serious financial reform.
Et tu, Tommay?

Keep on keepin' on...

I'll be casting my ballot FOR SURE! NDP. I almost always vote NDP, and this time around the candidate is only 2 years older than me (23), also a student - and BY FAR is the most well spoken, mature, intellgent of all the candidates in my riding. Far and above the incumbent 50-something Liberal who's held the seat for the past 15 years or so! 
I've been doing a bunch of advocacy stuff on campus to try to get students to get out and VOTE. (It's so *annoying* how pathetic the youth vote is most years!)
