Liberals - holding my nose. A vote for the party policies, not the individuals

They're the only party that can keep the Conservatives out of office, or at least hold them to a minority. And you can't deny the success they had turning the country around after Mulroney, bringing all of Canada's debt back into Canadian hands, paying down a substantial portion of it, keeping the economy on track despite a global slowdown that helped knock the US into a huge hole, etc. Plus they are committed to social policies that I favor: protection of free choice and anti-discrimination.

Hopefully this ugly scandal is enough to knock the rats out of the attic.

As for those who are going to vote Green -- in this election more than any other, a vote for Green is a vote for a Conservative government with an asterisk. Basically the equivalent of voting for Nader in 2000.
