I've had enough scandals and meaningless rhetoric about the environment. Once again I will vote Green, as they seem to be the only party with a practical approach to the environment and health care.
Yeah but what about other issues?

I suggest voting for the Canadian Action Party should you have a candidate running in your area. They are the only party willing to tackle the hard issues.
Who?

I think you can vote for either.

If not, well, I'm afraid you can't vote!

If you have recently moved, your name will still be registered, but you may need to update your address. Elections Canada updates the National Register of Electors from a number of sources, so your address may have been updated already.

In the past I have not voted for Liberal, but I will this time. The clincher was the carbon tax, of which I am a very big fan. I will happily take lower income taxes.
I just hope they play this right, and really empathize that they will reduce income taxes significantly.

I sincerely hope you never realize just how wrong you are.
How wrong I am? I never said anything that can be right or wrong there, it was purely a statement of personal opinion. How can that be wrong?

Well, voting Liberal doesn't automatically mean "lower income taxes" so...it may be your opinion, doesn't mean it is right either.

There are no tories, just some right-wing extremists with no sense or responsibility.

Compared with what?
Reverend Blair @ Thu Sep 04, 2008 10:21 am
Compared with what Progressive Conservatives were. I didn't support them either, but at least they weren't a bunch of backwoods loons and hillbillies.

You think the Carbon Tax will put more dollars in your pocket... you think the income tax cut will save you more money than the new tax will cost you.
Perhaps if you grow your own food, produce your own bio-diesel or other fuel for your car or truck, use wood for heat, have your own solar/wind power plant and are not hooked up to the power grid...
Sure you might save, but I'd be surprised if all that applied to you.
And the income tax cuts are not significant...

It might cost me more, and it might cost me less. I never said it would or wouldn't. My ultimate goal in life isn't to calculate these things down to the last penny.
I approve of the plan not because it will make me rich, but because it will make my tax level a result of my consumption decisions, not a result of my productivity.

Great, we can save by turning off the heat in the winter... shit wait have too keep the family warm... damn.
Maybe you can save by ditching that old inefficient V-8... wait the family vehicles are already fuel efficient four cylinders... no way to save there...
Maybe save by turning off the A/C in the summer... wait already gave up A/C...
Turn off lights when not in the room... check.
Don't own a farm... so no choice to but to buy supermarket food. That will go up in price with a carbon tax. I guess to save here you'd have to put the family on rations.
If your "consumption" is already near base level how much can you cut it back?
Do you advocate being more highly taxed?
