Today is the Friday before Election Tuesday here in Canada. Lots of choices and you should do your part to help make this election worth it. Even though I get the sense that many hardcore party supporters are considering making a switch in their vote this time, we still have a strong possibility of another minority government. This would mean another run without much government power.
I was surprise to hear that the number of parties in my riding have gone down to 5 from 8. Even though I always voted for the same party I enjoyed having 8 to choose from on my ballot. I am considering changing my vote this time around but still haven’t made up my mind. I assure you though it will be made up by Tuesday when I hit the polls. For those of you not in Canada here is an example of the parties I used to be able to choose from.
Below are the parties I can choose from this election. (Note: These are just for my neighbourhood! Your riding may have other alternatives. Check out www.electionscanada.ca for information on your riding by postal code. For example if you live in Quebec you may also have the Bloc Québécois to choose as a party)
So on behalf my good buddy Jean Chrétien (former Prime Minister of Canada) and myself “VOTE!”
