I went and did my Canadian voter registration today since I'm in a new riding since the last election. It's very easy to do, so honestly, if you're a Canadian who can vote, you're a real dumbass if you don't go to the effort as well. If you don't vote you really have no right to the benefits of being a citizen — and certainly no right to complain when Steven Harper, Canada's George Bush, becomes elected and screws up Canada as badly as Bush has screwed up America. We've already seen one great country nearly destroyed by poor leadership and a lack of public spirit (a majority of the people who have been hurt by Bush didn't even vote in the last US election). Don't let that sickness spread here.
Even if you don't believe in the election process, you need to go and vote for some crazy fringe candidate to send that message. If you just stay at home whining about it and watching cartoons, your voice isn't heard. Educate yourself about your choices, and cast the vote that you think best represents you:
Smaller parties: Canadian Action | Marijuana | Communist | Marxist-Leninist | Christian Heritage
