Federal Election

[MagicNakor]

In the Canadian federal election, that is. Ideally only Canadians would answer, but that's impossible.

I ask because of the age demographic this board somewhat resides in (although this particular subset is, I think, generally elder). The "youth" turnout has been pegged at about 25%, which is pretty dismal. Hopefully this year's election will be higher, although I doubt it.

Overall, 62% of the entire population voted in the last federal election. That's not a bad showing, but it certainly could be better.

Two votes. Oh, how I fear for the country.

Yes, but not on quite the same American-cum pseudo- quasi- ex-patriot once-removed basis as you, vid.

I'm only here to unduly influence the election.

That's easy for you to say

True enough, but I know there are more than two Canadians that frequent this area of the board.

We should have a poll of what party you are going to vote for. And there should be an option for *all* parties. Not just the big 4.

That defeats the whole "secret ballot." Besides, it's more interesting to see how many people will vote, rather than who they'll vote for.

Edit: Maybe if enough people vote in this poll, I'll go hunt through the ballots for that one.
