dave-O Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I just did my duty and I couldn't get over how many candidates are running in Ottawa Centre that I have heard nothing from... COMMUNIST PARTY OF CANADA FREEDOM PARTY OF ONTARIO Throw in an Independent, a Green, and the big 3 and you've got 7 on the ballot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I exercised my democratic right and squandered my vote by voting for a party that won't win. Can you do any less? Yay democracy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Yay, I voted! If you're thinking about doing it later but have the time now... don't wait, there could be lineups with all the people getting off work. Only 1 extra candidate on my ballot... and it didn't listen his party affiliation. Low Roller, I think we voted for the same party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I don't see voting for a party that won't win as an example of "squandering" your vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry jr. Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I voted, but not my conscience (my riding is somewhat conservative, so I voted liberal hoping to get rid of the incumbent), and when I left the building it was freaking HAILING outside! A sign? Get out there and vote you stinkin' hippies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I agree, I think it's better to vote for someone who may not win, than to spoil your ballet. While your vote may not cause someone to win, you've definelty expressed your opinion and that's the whole point (at least in theory). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynicism my friend. It's just some first-class, grade A, 100% real-fruit-juice-from-concentrate cynicism. If you vote you're already a winner!

Hux Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 What a beautiful day for democracy! (seriously) sigh....damn I love democracy.... Election results on the big-screen at 40 Main tonight! BNB/Missipp warmup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 I'm off to vote now...I'll be looking for cosmic guidance along the way. eeny-meeny-miney-moe. Hey, they should make the ballot a raffle ticket. The winner could get a Volvo or a tax break or get to spend a day as premier or something. Vote early, and vote often!

CyberHippie Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Sadly that's probably the only way they could probably increase voter turnout, from what, like 10%? They should make the raffle for early retirement. That would be sweet! I'd vote twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Turnout for yesterday's vote: 55.3% of eligible voters. That's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
