As to the "Gay marriage" issue, wow, what a red herring; a pawn in the political process; a divisive measure. While lemmings focus on this, the political vote is divisive while the bigger issues of effective and efficient health care, education, peace-keeping ability (aka military spending), immigrant employment issues, and child poverty get put on the back burner. Ask yourself this.. How does "gay marriage" rank on your personal priority list? How big an impact does it have on your political priorities?
Red herring. There is a LOT more important issues to address than this, but guess what... the Liberals figure this can clog up the other issues. Classic case of "three card monty".

Oh good, thanks for clearing that up. I can't wait to go to my gay and lesbien friends to tell them that they can stop all their efforts to eliminate one of the last bastions of government endorsed discriminaion and gain a right many Canadians take for granted because it's not really important... some guy named Shawnski says it's not on the official list.

Bottom line.... I recommend that you vote Liberal if you enjoy them pocketing your dollars into their own coffers, or other undesclosed recipients,# and have no backbone to disagree with that practice. "Holding your nose" to do so is silly. It is no better than holding your nose while eating some pizza that I just urinated upon. Seriously. Wake up.

So what should I do Oh Wise One. When I go to vote and I look at the ballot and see a candidate who stands for virtually everything I believe in and who had no connection to any scandal, should I just ignore him/her and vote for someone whose policies I disagree with and who I'm certain will head to Ottawa and work against the policies I favour?

Our confederation is seriously in jeopardy. Accountability should be paramount right now. REGARDLESS of individual riding candidates, this is the key, and I believe that the mild mannered Harper might in fact turn out to be a Canadian Superman, if given the chance.... he most certainly isn't going to be the arrogant Trudeau, Mulroney, Chretien or Martin.

Oh.. My.. God
Exaggerate much?
Our confederation is seriously in jeopardy?? In what way?
Harper = Superman?
