For freedom fiercely defended, for having a choice, for giving honour to our war dead and our pioneers, for the right to complain about Ottawa, are you voting today?

Make a difference -- shock our pundits by making this the best voter turn-out ever! Make this the most representative Parliament ever -- vote for the candidate that best represents you!!!

AND because we can. A coworker just said she doesn't believe in voting.

I'm sure all the women who fought for sufferage would really appreciate that. And it won't stop her form complaining later on.

I'm TOTALLY with you. It's our right, and our privilage. Not to mention a duty.
I knew I'd forgotten another good reason! Thank you for reminding me that women have had the vote for less than 100 years.

Your co-worker would probably be in the league of those women 100 years ago who couldn't figure out why they needed the right to vote because their husbands voted for them.
Thanks for the heads up. Makes me wish I had a laptop, so I could watch election coverage on TV in comfort and monitor my riding on the computer!

Had no idea there's an Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party. Who's the top dog? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Yeah, I have a habit of triple checking my 'X' is in the right place.

Voting for the Greens is absolutely not a wasted vote! First you gave them more money (all those bucks add up!) to campaign with in the next election. Second you voted for a party that I think does have a solid platform, albeit one that doesn't neatly pigeon-hole itself in either the Left or Right categories. And lastly in time those last-place parties can become winners in future elections because each vote in each succeeding election generates momentum.

I think the Liberals will have a major shake-up after this...one hopes!
I found out through a friend of mine that an electoral officer will go to the home of seniors or disabled who can't get to the polling station. They vote by secret ballot. I had no idea!

We're lucky here in Toronto -- nice clear sidewalks!
