Here’s another really smart tool for helping you plan a strategic vote to prevent Stephen Harper’s Conservatives from winning the 2008 Canadian Federal Election. Vote for the Environment has up to date graphs of polling data for the four major Canadian political parties broken down on a riding by riding basis.

I found this site useful when deciding who to vote for in the upcoming 2008 Canada Federal Election. It show’s historical accuracy of up to 90% and predicts the election outcome for each riding.

The Election Prediction Project

If you are like me and you don’t want the Conservatives to win this election tool might help you decide which political party has the greatest chance of beating the Conservatives.

I think the environment is a huge issue and despite all the negative publicity I believe that a Green Tax Shift - that is reducing Income Tax and Increasing Tax on pollution - is essential in leaving a livable planet for our children. Acting now would help forge a strong Green Economy for Canada - an economic shift which is inevitable, so why not be at the forefront?

Axe the NDP

It wasn’t really my plan for this to be a politically charged blog but based on what I’ve been reading in the papers recently it might quickly turn into one. I’m so fed up with mainstream political parties that I just can’t turn a blind eye to the circus for much longer.

Just the other week I was writing a letter to the Liberal party voicing my opposition to their proposed legislation that would limit 3rd party advertising around the upcoming election. Now the NDP wants to launch an “Axe the Gas Tax” campaign. Is the NDP retarded? (Excuse my political-incorrectness) How do they expect to earn the trust and respect of any reasonably informed voter by working against efforts to solve our climate crisis? I am disgusted! What a low and desperate political tactic by the NDP.

I will note vote for a party that promotes devolution in an effort to gain power. I think we should Axe the NDP like a rotten limb that needs to be cut off before infecting the rest of the body. We would be better off without them.

I’ll pay 2.5 cents more on gas so that my kids have a better chance to have air to breath and food to eat.
