Wrong? Probably. But at the end of the day, Deepak Shakaraka (or whatever his name is in my riding) isn't going to have much of an impact on how this country operates. The Prime Minister, however, does.

For the most part canadians do operate that way, although there are exceptions. I myself have never even considered voting conservative. May look into it in the next election, since I am moving out of Rob Anders riding. In some cases it isn't important who is in your riding, but there are some things that just can't be overlooked.
