Who are you going to vote for?

[crackdragon]

Thinking NDP, but I will probably go Liberal...

[liquidblueloft]

100% in agreement with Jake. expecially with the conservatives "re-opening same-sex marriage, cutting the gst, giving parents 1,200 a year for kids under six even though we JUUUUST decided on a national daycare plan." those are just bad policies plain and simple. I also like the NDP to be in power but thats not likely plus i live in dt Vancouver and the is no way i'm voting for Sven. Most people dt think he's trying in this riding because he thinks he can ride the gay vote which has pretty much angered the community. Hedy Fry has always done a pretty good job here so why change something that isn't broken.

[Bitchin]

damn working in vancovuer and living in maple ridge.

i was wondering when the liberal cheer squad was going to make an appearance here on fnk. Be sure to post up pics of you in those short skirts and pompoms, bitch!

[mushmellow]

Im still torn on this one...i strongly believe in what the ndp stands for and i think jack layton would be a gream pm but i know that he has no chance. and i dont belive in most of what the conservatives stand for so i will definitly not vote for them. the liberals have been in power to long and they have disgraced themselves, how does that make our country look? but i must admit, the liberals arent doing a bad job, i support alot of the current bills that are in the process that would just get thrown out if the liberals get thrown out. so i am torn between the ndp and liberals. and as far as i know they are pretty close in the ridings for this area. i think i need to sleep on this...

either way....DONT VOTE CONSERVATIVES

My memory is pretty hazy, however I believe it was William Blake(correct me if I'm wrong) who said

'He who is not a socialist at 20 is a fool,
He who is still a socialist at 40 is twice the fool'

ha...thats a good quote.

I see the National Daycare program put forth by the liberals as being another blunder overused understaffed underfunded. I personally like the 1200 the Conservitaves would rather give. Now I know it wont work for everyone cause there are jackasses out there who will spend it on booze or somthing but sometimes parents don't want or have to enroll thiere children into daycare would be nice to get a years worth of diapers from the government. Also I am all for the 500 dollar rebate for enrolling your kids into a sports program. The world is getting fatter everyday parents should be encouraged and supported for enrolling children into an organized sport. Would be even nicer if they could go full cirlce and offer it up to the arts & culture aswell but that isn't on their agenda.. Also to go a little further we never decided on a National Daycare plan Paul Martin was using it as a campaign promise nothing has been finalized or set in motion to my knowledge.

^Ya because 1200 covers all of about 2 to 3 months of child care. :S

[BongMan]

it is a help besides where are the liberals gonna put all these childcare centers?? Who will build them?? Who will staff them?? Who will supply food?? What will the limit be on children?? so on and so forth I don't see the Daycare program being in operation for probably 7 years with the way our government moves.. Not to mention BC will get 5 centers while the east gets one on every other block.

[Cdn_Brdr]

I'm not trying to defend the Libs either... I just think that $1200 isn't even a dent in the expense for the families that REALLY need it.

[BongMan]

Ya deffinatly I would really like to see it upwards around the 4 - 5 mark but that could get very expensive..

Fable, you attacked him first for his political beliefs. Why would you, of all people, put him down for what he believes. If he is a liberal supporter that is his choice, and you should not belittle him for that.

John, you go on with your bad self! :)

[cinist]

I went with my parents earlier, they both voted NDP I went Liberal.

[cinist]

My dad was suprised to get a voter card this year considering he isnt a citizen, is that illegal? aha

[Ree Fresh]

I voted for Don Bell (liberal). I may have rather of voted NDP, but it's going to be a close one between the Libs and Concervatives in North Van.

I don't think there is a huge problem with actual daycare centres. Alot of the problem starts with the funding and substeady for lower income famalies. The daycare centre I often work at lost over 25 kids when cut backs were made 4-5 years ago (provincal problem) However I could also see staffing being a problem since daycare workers dont make very much esopecialy if they have a degree.
It's not so much about the government making daycares it's self, but putting more money towards funding them.

[A-BOMB]

I love living in a democratic country as much as the next guy, but if you vote Conservative i'll fucking kill you!

[-evil-duerr-]

^ha ha ha, that's the spirit!

just got back from the polls. Out of all the assholes we gotta choose from to run tings, the Liberal assholes got my vote.
