uh, Taylor, do you actually watch that show? Train 48 is hideous.

yeah, yeah, election blah blah blah... TV, come on! Let's talk about something really exciting!

I think I've stopped watching television, it's just too terrible any more.
Except for the news, when all our favourite politicians are analysed in more ways than humanly possible...
god forbid a man with a moustache win anything, eh? What kind of news is that? lame-o
the newspaper isn't much better though, I have to admit.
Although the political cartoons this weekend were funny, check them out if you haven't... hellection haha!

scary...

Anyways, his wife is exciting too! Olivia Chow

Haha, clever: "Jack's moustache is growing on me," she said.

You're right Paras, whats an election without some turmoil? I bet the Spanish are like "That was an Awesome election man!"...

Anyways here is prime example of just how exciting Mr. Jack Layton is: Check it out , Zowee!

Elections can be exciting... see, look how much they cost us: Past Costs and Projected

I dunno, Ed. I don't think an election is the same without the hired goons, inter-party violence (hell, even intra-party violence), and action movie stars.

Of course, this year your ballot is worth more than just a statistic for prognosticating political pundits on June 28th, it's also worth $1.75... to registered political parties:

Registered political parties that receive at least two percent of the number of valid votes cast nationally, or five percent of the number of valid votes cast in the electoral districts in which the registered party endorsed a candidate, will be eligible for a quarterly allowance which, on the basis of a full year, will amount to $1.75 per valid vote received by the party in the previous general election. -- Bill C-24



Also, isn't it nice to know that Elections Canada provides a toll-free number from Mexico, so that our Senators can also ask elections questions?

Yah, I can't say the politics and the election are all that boring right now. I dunno, I've heard this phase called the "phony-war" period... things should pick up. Perhaps when the play-offs are over? In any event, if you're in it for excitement at least Jack Layton is around, right? That and you can always hope Crosbie jumps on board with the Conservatives.

Maybe its a good thing that things aren't "exciting"... I mean as a sign of a good country and all.

Canadian politics boring? As far as north-american standards go, I'd disagree. I fucking hate American politics; it just seems like slander-fest '99 all over again, and it holds no interest to me whatsoever. But then again... fuckin Harper is jumping on that very same boat with the new commercial of his. He actually calls that shit 'campaigning'? I call that shit american-style-grade-one-namecalling is what I calls it. What a fucktard.

And Martin? Damn. What can I say?

Then Layton? Seems like a decent and (dare I say?) honest politician. But oh man... I gots a feeling Canada is gonna go the shitter economically with his posse running the show.

And yeah, yeah... don't go telling me I'm just voting for my representative and NOT the party/leader. Kuz that's bullshit. You get ONE vote... and that vote is what decides the whole shebang. Anybody who thinks otherwise has the mentality of a 13-year-old-Korn-loving anarchist.

I think ideally you should be able to vote for who your representative should be (like Canada does), but then have another vote where you vote directly for the leader (like the US does). And we may as well vote in the senate while we're at it...

Jeez, I really need some Train 48 to put this shit in perspective for me... why haven't I seen that show in forever?!?? DAMMITALLTOHECK.

solidarity Al-bot, solidarity.

it's muthafuckin' protest time bitches!!!!!!!
