When I pressed my local candidates in my admitadly rural county, none had an answer though the incumbant Conservative candidate thankfully didn't try to feign knowledge. None, that is, except for the Christian Heritage Party. Hey not only understood that as well as net neutrality, he had all the right answers. Alas, the official party view on global warming (that it's a myth) and their views on abortion along with the fact I'd like to see church & state seperate, has certainly tempered his response in my mind. *I'll admit to not watching all of the candidates debate on TV. I was waiting for Mrs. Palin to flub something badly.

I've bled NDP orange for a number of years, and continue to do so, but it is important that each eligible Canadian votes. I don't care who you vote for, but I do care if you vote. Even if you don't think your vote matters, it does! It really is a simple process. Young people are most likely to ignore the election. In most cases it is the false beliefs that a) it doesn't count, b) it is too complicated. Vote vote vote!
