rock the vote...

i am obsessed with the election.

some random thoughts and links.

i'm disappointed by the lack of contact with any of the people running in my riding. i have received two flyers from the conservatives, one flyer from the ndp and a phone call from the liberals. that's it.

i'm shocked by the fact that according to some polls, the conservatives are in the lead in b.c. really?

i get the concept of vote swapping but my fear with that is, what if they pull another david emerson? and speaking of him, i am so mad that he is not running this election. be a man mr. emerson, face up to the voters and let them have a fair shot at you. and i do fear that it doesn't matter that he is not running. that steve harper will just give him a cabinet position without him being elected. it wouldn't be the first time.

sadly, i missed the wrecking ball event. it was packed, they turned people away and it rocked. of course, the best bit was the tory candidate lorne mayencourt turned up with 15 minutes left and wanted to participate. um, sorry no.

here is rick mercer's rant on voting. you can also view it on cbc.ca but i can't link directly to it. stupid website.

don't forget to vote people.

I was just telling my sister about Rick's rant. I too am obsessed with tomorrow's election. I am so hoping the polls are wrong. Have fun marking your ballot.

i was shocked when i did a poll on cfox's site and it showed a majority of their listeners were voting conservative.

i will have fun marking my ballot. and i am most disappointed that i have to work tomorrow nite (not for the election) and will miss a lot of the election coverage.

I have to work until 8:30 so I'll miss the beginning but I'm going to tape the CBC pre-election thing-a-ma-jig that they are airing with Rick Mercer among others. Hope you can at least tune into CBC radio while working.

I too have received very little literature. I think I got ONE NDP flyer and that's it!!!! WTF

I'm off to VOTE very soon It's only a block away, how convenient!

Off to Re-watch Mercer's rant.

i'm heading off to vote now!

Allison said...

that rant is great.

i just watched the latest mercer report, now onto this hour has 22 mins...hopefully then the actual election coverage will start!

Toccata said...

Well, I figure you too are feeling rather depressed tonight. Damn!

668 aka neighbour of the beast said...

i'm mad! damn mad!

Hey 668, guess what!? i lost my election.... so, Canada basically wasted lots of money for a somewhat statu quo....

I too found candidate apathy. NOTHING from my NDP, Liberal or Canadian Action Party people. I had the misfortune of being handed a Conservative card while in a neighbouring community and the Green candidate/helper did a neighbourhood blitz. I think this is part of why I had trouble deciding who to cast my ballot for. If they can't get out and spread the word as a candidate, what is the likelihood they are actually going to do anything if elected as an MP?

Once again our Conservative ne'er-do-well got in. :-(

668 aka neighbour of the beast said...

skylar - that sucks. i think if the conservative in my area won, i might have to think about moving.

steph - great voter apathy and candidate apathy. how do you fight that?

Barbara Bruederlin said...

You want depressing? Conservative in my riding beat the 2nd place finisher by almost 34,000 votes. And that happens all the time here.

oh barbara, i feel for you.
