Usually would vote PC but this time I'm going Liberal I think. Anyone that votes PC while they're in college is nuts. Unless you enjoy paying the highest tuition rates in the country...

oh crap, I'm not in Lethbridge on the 3rd does that mean I'm supposed to vote today or tonight. Do you have to have proof that you aren't going to be around on that day?

^ No you don't have to prove that you won't be around that day. You can just go in and vote early.

Maybe you should vote NDP to get yourself acclimatized now?

I'll be voting PC this time around. Last election, Ralph had me pretty annoyed from the way he didn't even bother tabling a platform, so I voted seperatist. I kinda regret that decision because I'm not a seperatist, it was a protest vote.
But this time there is nobody to give my protest vote to (not that seperatist was a legit choice last time). So I guess it's status quo for me.

I may not vote, I can't vote PC/WRA not my views at all, Liberals have a loser for a leader(as do PC's) and NDP can go to hell.

Maybe Communists.... Just for the sheer hell

I know, but if I stick around someone would probably steal my garden hose.

They got left outside all winter. I hope they still work come spring. Maybe you'll have a 50' soaker hose to water the flower bed.

Nah there's been a big push more to the right in BC lately. I was livin out there in '05 during the last provincial election and it was a battle between the NDP and Liberals, which the Liberals won. In Vancouver, "NDP" is practically a swear word these days.

Voting day is upon us... Don't forget to go out today and scare the crap out of the PCs. And judging by the signage in the community I've moved to, looks like I have an independant alternative. I'd better check his website before I leave in the morning.

I'm not eligible to vote this time around (I missed it by 5 months...stupid government), but I think I would have voted PC. There's nothing wrong with Farmer Ed, and the Liberals are exactly that...too liberal for me. And the NDP are a bunch of knobs.

Liberals. I think Len Borowski has a good chance of winning in my riding so I am voting for him.
