Hello Peter,

 PC>     Usually when people are trying to win your vote or that of an
 PC> area, they either knock on doors, or they , at a reasonable time
 PC> arrange a time and place for the majority to appear at to hear '
 PC> them first speak giving the party platform and then what...and this
 PC> is important what they are interested in seeing...as well what they
 PC> will do for this area.

I only heard from 1 candidate. Called me on the phone and told me she was in a 
wheelchair and that is why I never seen or heard anything about her. I hung up 
shortly after the recording started.

 PC> Only one candidate bothered to show up.

Non showed here at all. I see a lot of signs but that's it.

Stockwell Day is the MP here and he is very popular. I don't think anyone will 
unseat him. He always gets something like 80% of the vote. Maybe that's why 
noone even tries.

 PC> This candidate spoke about a private member's bill to put
 PC> FREE dental as part of the OHIP or Our national Medical plan.

I think that's a good plan. I'd like to see every persons basic needs covered. 
I dunno how that could be covered though, I imagine the bill would be simply 
huge.

 PC> The others are wannabees that can not get to be candidates for
 PC> these two top partys and thus join these other flakes and
 PC> just split the vote.

On one hand I'd like to see a bit more control over who can run, but then that 
kind of defeats democracy.

 PC> If they wanted to...or if the Governor-General knew what she was doing
 PC> she could have asked any of the leaders of any of the political partys
 PC> to form a government....but we'll never know.    Cannuckian.....eh?

I case like this last election when the PM just wants to "drop
it", I'd rather 
see the runner up take power instead of a costly and pointless election.

Harper is such a weenie!

 PC> "Rusty Mailbox" ???? I never knew my dog Rusty had one?

Yep, he can have one if he wants one.. :)

 Ttyl :-),
