people on this board seem to be fond of saying that canda is overwhelmingly democrat. thats just not true. its not even close. for starters (like the us) nearly 50% of people dont even bother to vote. and also, unlike the us, canadians are not loyal to a particular party. look at recent polling. look how much the parties have swung in just eight years. from complete liberals to complete conservatives. you see, canucks dont really vote for anyone ... they tend to vote against people. and its always almost all about the economy. nothing else really matters. we will vote for whoever can make the trains run on time. or at least promise that. they of course never deliver. canuck voters are a fickle bunch, and they arent loyal to a party. of course some canucks are (30%), but most show up to the polls to get rid fo someone who is fucking up ... then they go back to not voting.  the basic canuck cycle is this. (1) no one shows up to vote (2) liberals get elected (3) liberals fuck up the economy (4) all the people come out to vote out the ndp liberals (5) conservatives get elected, and the trains run on time again (6) no one shows up to vote .....
