I feel quite badly. You're right, that was asinine of me.

I basically stole the thunder from this thread, and assumed everyone needed to be hit over the head with a headline, in order to take notice.

And after you were already taking notice, too.

I apologize, c172.

So, is this the lesser of evils as in so many political elections?

I would give anything to have an election cycle that lasted 78 days.

The Green Party would have been the only option that I would personally consider to be a "lesser" evil.

And I think May is an idiot.

To me, Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair are equally scary, in different ways.

How so?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Well, I doubt that I need to explain to you why Harper was scary;

But as far as Trudeau and Mulcair go,

I simply don't trust Mulcair,
I think he is an ambitious, self-serving man who is concealing things;

I don't feel Trudeau really has an economic plan;
I do feel he is just riding his father's coattails.

and I dislike how they both pander to the Muslim community.

I work with a guy from Windsor. He said he was disgusted with the result and is glad he lives here in the States. I don't think he knows how crappy it is over here politically either....

Most are not going to like what I say here but I am going to say it anyway. While I would prefer no one pander to any religious group I was personally glad to see the Christians be told that they are not the be all, end all of the Western World. I think standing up for the Muslims may be the first step in standing up for everyone that doesn't believe as the Christians do and I was glad to see it.

Yes, but that is expected with the liberals and given the position of many, many Canadians I think that the pandering will stop. And I actually like his economic plan, its classic Keynesian economics of spending in a time of recession to increase growth, plus our infrastructure out east is rusting to shit.
