Who is everyone voting for?

Personally, I'm going with the NDP because they have the best chance of winning and Jack Layton is a socialist.

He's for gay rights (including marriage), limiting media concentration (so a few companys dont own all our media), keeping health-care non-privitized (everyone has the right to healthcare), decriminilization of marijuana (only $25 fine for having up to 30grams and allowed to cultivate 5 plants), pro-kyoto, and against war (including "Star Wars Missle Defense with the USA).

Other left-wing parties like the Green Party are very appealing as well, but don't stand much of a chance at winning, but if NDP was to get in, it would be a huge leap and would probably lead to the the Green Party becoming more popular in the future.

Who is everyone else voting for?

too bad he's in canada and not america. i hope he wins. i'm american though...

if greens had a chance in america, i'd vote them. normally i would, but this election is so crucial to the anyone-but-bush kind of thing, i'll go with kerry just to get bush out of office.

not really, just a drunken night out on the town that resulted in a felony conviction, maybe there's a story but i don't remember it.

fair enough...I'm only about an hour from Canada, so all my friends go up there once a month or whatever...I won't be 19 for a few more months though
