Very good point. I was very surprized when I saw the results of the poll with a majority of conservative votes. I was thinking liberal or NDP was going to fair well here. I consider myself leaning 50% to the left when faced with economical and political decisions.

I think society should help itself and corporations need to be more responsible for the country or provinces that they operate in. Tim Hortons is a great example of a superb Canadian corporation. I can't go a month without hearing something about Tim Hortons helping children in the news or Tim Hortons helping the community. I applaud this outstanding stance.

Anyhow, this post wasn't supposed to be about Tim Hortons, I was just using it as a way that I look at things. Left winged politics and economical decisions will improve our day to day lives and I can't fanthom how people can lean so far right.. boggle.

Well, the poll is sort of skewed, because there is only one party represented on the right, the Conservatives, while the NDP and Greens are definitely left, while the Liberals hover near centre/left. Add up the totals and you wind up with 18 left seats, 19 right and 1 Bloc.

I just can't see the Conservatives winning with Harper at the helm. They need to retire him quickly and get someone else to lead them. I think Peter MacKay might have the right stuff to win an election, although I don't know if he'd be palatable to western based party members. Harper's an old nag that needs to be sent to the glue factory. Get a young racehorse in there and the Conservatives have a chance.

As for myself, I'd vote Liberal, even though my riding is dominated by 40,000 farmers and the Liberal candidate would have no chance of getting elected. If the NDP put a good candidate up, I might consider it, but considering that during the last 3 elections they put university students here I doubt they put much effort in this riding.

   

I think there should be a "None of the above" If thee is not a clear majoraty the leaders of all parties get their walking papers.

   

I'd vote Conservative for two main reasons increased military spending, and family tradition.

   

Couldn't agree with you more, out with the old, in with the new and conservatives could see some pleasing results.

   

Liberals must go somehow.But the urban vote will save their ass again!

   

It would seem that alot of people in the Northern and Eastern parts of the GTA aren't too impressed by the Liberals right now. If the Conservatives got a more charismatic and centrist leader, chances are that they'd take a couple of seats like Newmarket - Aurora, Brampton West, and Ajax - Pickering in the GTA.

   

The leader does not determine party policy, party members decide the policies, that is why Parties hold conventions.The members vote on policy.This means that Harper did not set up CPC policy.The grassroots did that.Harper's job is to lead the party in the House of Commons and inspire the people.If you watched the recent Politicians and press gala on CPAC you would see that Harper has a great sense of humour and personality.The party has a good leader who doesn't need to be replaced, but Stephen does need to come out of his shell and use that talent to his advantage.Harper has charisma, but most of the time it is hidden.Maybe Harper's hidden agenda was not policy but his great sense of character.I will vote Conservative in the next federal election because I support their policies and believe Harper would make a better PM than Martin.

   

Urban Canada will once again dictate terms to the rest of the country.

   

The options presented in this poll are not the options at the polls that matter. It takes hard work, commitment and a cause to make an option available to the people. I would not vote for ANY of the aforementioned parties as none have the priorities that I share. It is why I choose to run for an independent party and will continue to support them.

I have grave concerns about the conservatives and to vote for them would mean lowering the bar to a level so low as to make it a meaningless measurement. The liberals have done well to shed Jean but are so tied to the status quo that when real leadership is required and deeds, not lectures are warranted they are simply out of gas. The NDP will always in my mind be the party in waiting but never a party in power. As the saying goes when you try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one. The greens are just too green and their principals, albeit with good intent, do not speak loudly or strongly enough for the concerns of Canada and Canadians.

I will continue to support the CAP. In as much as John A. was faithful to his grand experiment, so too will I.

   

The conservatives have the same problem that the reform had, they are ripe with bible thumping, Bush loving, racist narrow minded, stuck in the mud folks. I think that the conservatives realy have to change the face of their party. I think of the conservatives and I think a canadian version of Bush and Cheney. i don't need that in my country!!

   

my vote would be for the Conservatives....they were always helping the Military
