36 days ago Canada called a federal election...today we vote...I'm still voting for the same party I started with 36 days ago.

My observations here in political is.....pretty dang close to 100% of you Americans will do the same. Vote for the party you started with. All the argueing,name calling,brow beating hasn't changed anybodys opinoun {IMO}Your elections are sooooo dragged out,aren't you tired of it by vote day?? I know I'm getting tired of it....would just be a nice change to be able to read negative-positive posts about your new president.... Smile

And to see where our two countries lie in the political siblinghood...

Just got back from voting. First time that I had to show ID because I never knew anyone at the polling station. I guess that's progress and I did meet some new folks.

When all this started months ago some of the new prospects lifted my eyebrows. They opened their mouths and I was let down when their true colors began to show.

Local election decisions and some state level, have been recent. I could have cast my presidential vote long ago.

I will be heading out this afternoon to vote, lets hope that we get a majority government so we don't have an election every time they don't agree..

I too am voting for the same person that I had planned on when the election was first called.

Just a question for those of you that have voted...

Was there a big turn out at your stations ? I went to ours where there should be about 5000 voting there and I was the only one in the hall. This was around 1:30pm.

Asked the lady (who happened to be my neighbor) if there has been a good turn out and she said it has been very quiet. Sad

I hope the rest of the eligible voters in the west are not as complacent as it will be a real b#tch for us if the Libs get in... Mad

If you haven't yet please get off your butts and VOTE !!!!!!!!!

And yes it was a little strange showing my ID to someone who's kids I have house sit for me once and a while.. Laughing

sadly, another Conservative minority means we will see the polling stations again shortly.

Elwapo I agree 100% and it is sad as we end up paying for it all through our hard earned tax dollars.
I would rather have a minority conservative government than a lib or NDP government any day though..Imho..
