Vote: Because You Can
It's that time again. I've talked about this on a few other occasions but thankfully, the subject never gets old. It is, after all, the thin line we've collectively drawn against the dogmas of dictatorship and divine right. In Canada, we assert our collective will and dictate the ideals that will lead us forward. Sometimes we make poor decisions and elect people undeserving of leadership. Often, we vote out of fear, or a lack of confidence in our options. In every single case however, we elect the government we deserve.
I can only hope that in this election, I'm right when I say that we deserve better than we've seen in the past.

Actually they close at 9:30 pm in Ontario. We're on Eastern Time. :)
Click here for a list of all the registered parties. There's even one called the Work Less Party. I didn't even know they existed until like 3 minutes ago.

And here I'd thought that the party list hadn't changed since the last election. You're right, I'd totally forgotten about the Work Less Party. I'll re-update my list above in a minute.
