Vote!

This is for my Canadian blog buddies.  As you all know, voting day is approaching and if you are wondering which box to check, I recommend you check out this site!  There are 30 questions, you click the response that is the closest to how you feel and then it will compare your answers with the different parties.  It only takes a few minutes and really helps clarify things. 

It was kind of funny, because when I did it, I came out with a different answer than I wanted.  But then I clicked on the answers by the party I was planning on voting for (that I was a little further away from, policy wise,) to see where we differed.  And was pleased to see that the areas where we differed were not deal breakers for me.  This comforted me, because I can’t stand the present leader of the party I usually vote for, so this year, I am making a change.

Also, interesting to me was the fact that when I made Don fill in the questions, he came up with another party entirely from either of the two in my ballpark!  Who would have guessed?  And this is good as well, because now, when he votes, his beliefs will be represented, instead of me telling him which box I think he should tick. 

This is what makes a democracy.  Please make sure to take the time to get informed and vote.  It’s the only way to make sure that Canada and her policies reflect the beliefs of her people.
 
Thanks!
