I'm 6 months away from being able to vote, so I can't vote in this election BUT I'd vote NDP because I like their policies. (..) I doubt they'd actually be able to carry them out (ala the Liberals), but I believe they should at least get a chance.
Special biast note: Seniors tend to vote for the conservative party because they don't care about the education of youth, they are set in their ways (pro-life), and don't worry about the privatization (and brutalization) of healthcare because they're living off their fat pensions (not supplied by the conservative party). Are you an old person? ARE YOU???

The federal government isn't involved in education, the provincial one is. Oh, and maybe look up some REAL minority party names, as they are funnier (Undecided Party of Canada). Well, lets run over what each party has to offer: Liberal - Speaks for itself Convervative - wants to give unborn children handguns to prevent abortions and revoke some of the woman's rights that were established in 1920. REGRESSIVE Conservative, anyone? NDP - Yeah, we really need more red tape. And Jack Layton says he's middle class and the head of the opposition. Umm...he's an ex-LAWYER (six figure annual income, anyone?) and has less power than the Bloc. No power corrupts worst of all. Bloc Quebecois - While I respect the idea, I really hate the way they run polls. Besides, I don't see it ever happening, even as the official opposition (Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, actually). Green Party (Natural Law party): Lets all get naked, smoke weed, and throw our own crap at each other. Q: THEY'RE our best choices? A: Yep. Q: What are they, a bunch of idiots? A: Apparently. Q: Is Canada a distinct society? A: Yes. Q: Really? A: No. Q: Is Canada distinct, yes or no? A: That is correct. Honestly, unless the liberals really, really, REALLY screw up, I'm going with them. Great liberal prime ministers include: John Turner.

PARTIE BLEU!! They want the Canada to have fun!
Of course, it's just a joke party to show how people believed everything the politicians said, and it was working, I'm sure some people will go there and ask: 'where can I vote for the parti bleue?'. It also does some publicity for their beer (Labatt Bleue).
Well, I can't vote but can still have an opinion about that. I actually have no idea which, either Liberal or Bloc Québéquois, I don't know, I'm not following politic much, I actually don't care much about it.

Not that party, I'm talking about that: www.partibleue.com/accueil.htmlLabatt Bleue is investigating into humour things, like they were sponsors of 'Le Grand Rire Bleu' and they also are sponsors of 'Juste pour Rire' (the French Just For Laugh), and now they decided to joke around with politic.

I'm gonna draw on my voting sheet...Not voting for anyone, they're all a bunch of morons. If everyone would do that, maybe we'll have some decent parties someday.

I can't vote but I convinced my mother to vote for Liberal because their the only party that I'm confident can run this country, since they've been in power for such a long time.

They don't really want to win. Their goal is to protect our rights.
They already did.
The Parti Bleue was actually a really bad idea. Beer + Politics = No
YES! Drunky Juce power.
I thought you were gonna vote for Bloc Québécois. Bah, wahtever. I don't get this guy. ^_^
Chrétien was a good prime minister I guess. But now, with Paul Martin... it's not the same thing.
I can't vote, but if I could, I'd vote for Bloc Québécois. Or NDP.
EDIT--
...It's not like that.

Ya, but I'm I am pretty happy about my current living and I'm quite sure Liberals will do nothing but improve it.

And that's worked just so well: Dieing? Too bad! No hospital treatment for you! Again, that's provincial, not federal. Get your facts straight. I'll admit that the ad scandal in Quebec has lost some Liberal votes, but they went to the Bloc, giving them quite a few more seats.
