there will be elections here soon, and i will have to decided who will rule my province. I seriously feel disgusted, you know like when you got stomarch bursts. I usually vote on the federal level, and i am verry happy of it but on the provincial level i feel really sick of voting.

for those who are not aware of what the joyful process of voting in quebec, here is the wonderful choices we have:

-liberal party of Quebec: center right, kinda suck beccause of their lack of creativity and their enormous lack of balls of actually doing stuff. They tried reorganize some stuff but it failed beccause of the enormous amount of protests. Some of the thing they wanted to do even if it was at right actually made sense, but has i say they lack balls.that the current party in power.

Sounds shit, but it's much the same around the world. Who you going to vote for?

I completely ignore provincial elections here in Quebec. Atleast they're not as "in-your-face" as the federal elections. I've never voted provincially, never will.

Not voting or not being politically active gives you no right to complain about shitty social programs or when the government does bad things.

perhaps i am gonna vote for the party that is in power right now, just to make the bloc quebecois pissed.

the new health minister is really the only one i trust right now, its a fresh recruit and just by looking up on a hospital during a month he enhenced the performance of 10%. i really trust him, the other are scmuck.

Economy: Central to the Conservative economic strategy is tax reduction. This includes previously announced tax reductions, such as the lowering of the Goods and Services Tax (http://www.mapleleafweb.com/features/goods-and-services-tax-overview-history) (GST) from seven to five percent, as was as reducing personal income and corporate taxes for individuals and businesses. New proposals include lowering taxes on diesel and aviation fuel by half and further reductions in corporate taxes for small and medium-sized business. Other economic policies include reducing the regulatory burden for small businesses and northern development; a new $75 million venture capital fund to help businesses commercialize new technology developments; a $900 million Strategic Aerospace and Defence Initiative and a $250 million Automotive Innovation Fund to support these industrial sectors; a $1 billion Community Development Trust to support communities and workers in struggling industries; a commitment to reduce inter-provincial trade barriers by 2010; pursuing new trade agreements with emerging markets; as well as a reorganization of federal regional development strategies

Health care: The Conservative Party remains committed to Canada’s system of public health care. Specific policies proposed or introduced by the Conservatives include Patient Wait Time Guarantee agreements with the provinces and territories; continued implementation of the 10-year $41.3 billion Plan to Strengthen Health Care (the plan was introduced by the previous Liberal government in 2004); establishing the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer to implement a national cancer strategy; increased funding for new training of doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals; increased investment in the Canada Health Infoway to develop electronic health records.


Economy: A key component of the Liberal Party’s economic policies is the encouragement of a green economy through the development of environmentally-friendly industries and jobs. The Liberals are also committed to reducing income and corporate tax rates and balanced federal budgets as means of spurring economic growth. The Liberals have also targeted infrastructure and education as critical to continued economic prosperity. Specific policies include a 10-year $70 billion plan to invest directly in Canada’s infrastructure; increased support for university-based research; simplifying tax support for students; and reforms to student loan initiatives. The Liberals have also promised to create a $1 billion Advanced Manufacturing Prosperity Fund to assist manufacturing industries and workers facing economic difficulties.

Health Care: The Liberal Party has promised to maintain and improve Canada’s public health care system. Specific policies include a Doctors and Nurses Fund to increase training capacity for new health care professionals; working with Aboriginal communities to close the gap in the health status of Aboriginal peoples; and the introduction of a drug plan to ensure Canadians have access to catastrophic drug coverage.


Economy: The NDP promises to promote Canadian jobs and make life more affordable for Canadian families. Specific policies include encouraging job creation and innovation in the new energy economy; improving the fairness of employment standards (including re-establishing the National Minimum Wage; reversing “tax giveaways” to corporations; introducing and maintaining balanced budgets; protecting Canadians from “price gouging” by businesses; implementing income stabilization programs for farmers; promoting long-term economic and environmental sustainability of marine and forestry resources; and re-investing in education, skills training and apprenticeships to help Canadians succeed in the economy.

Health Care: Central to the NDP’s renewal strategy for health care is a commitment to maintaining and improving the public health care system. Particular policies include training and hiring more doctors and nurses; improving home care; establishing a national prescription drug program; and promoting good health through physical fitness and amateur sport programs.

I think it is good thing the liberal are getting less and less votes they where more center :(but now slowing moving to the right and now getting less and less votes.

The NDP is getting more an more votes now and so is the Conservative this will get the liberal to get more left to get more votes or they will not get in.

The people who where left center have move to left the NDP and people more center right to the conservative .

What happing is Canada is getting divided this will get them to go more center to where Canada was like before.

You will see the conservative move more left to try to get a majority government and the liberal more center like before.

With cut in social programs and shitty social programs the NDP is getting more and more votes this will get the liberal to move more to the left.

So I hope next elections the liberal get less votes.
