4. I'd vote for the Bloc, but for some strange reason...
they don't seem to have any riding committees or candidates here in Toronto. Hence, I'd throw my support behind the NDP candidate. (Not a citizen so I can't vote. :-( )

6. NDP, of course.
Second choice would be the Bloc, if I lived in Quebec. If those two choices were not open to me, I'd make up a party on the ballot paper. The International Dictatorship of Cake Party sounds good.

7. I would vote for whoever could defeat the creepy faux Con
that currently has the riding. In this case, it would be an NDP candidate so it is a win/win position.

9. I miss the Rhinoceros Party
--repeal the law of gravity,
-pave the province of Manitoba to create the world's largest parkinglot,
-institute illiteracy as Canada's third official language,
-tear down the Rocky Mountains so that Albertans could see the Pacific sunset,
-build sloping bicycle paths across the country so that Canadians could "coast from coast to coast",
- breed a mosquito that would only hatch in January so that "the little buggers will freeze to death",
- turn Montreal's Rue Ste-Catherine into the world's longest bowling alley,
- paint Canada's coastal sea limits so that Canadian fish would know where they were at all times,
- count the Thousand Islands to make sure none are missing,
- impose an "import quota on lousy winters -- Canadians are sick of being God's frozen people. It's time to get back to the four basic seasons: salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar."
- include the word "fun" in Acts of Parliament, Acts of provinical legislatures, and Bylaws of municipalities, from which it was apparently conspicuously absent.

12. Thanks for the laugh. I did vote for the Rhino party once.
They were a refreshing alternative.

I will vote for the Bloc and I wish more people across Canada could do the same. Not because they want an independent Québec but because they have an experienced decent leader.

10. Would have to go liberal again, unfortunately
as I live in a rural riding that had the conservatives narrowly beat them out last time.
I think of it as a vote AGAINST, rather than FOR.


Almost makes me want to move back to high park to vote NDP!

11. NDP - I'm lucky enough to live in the poorest riding in Canada,
in which the two-fisted NDP candidate is a mainstay. (He recently told his Conservative Party counterpart "I'm going to punch you on the nose," and paid no political price whatever for it.)
