for the candidate in your riding who could best beat the Cons. Otherwise it is a wasted vote in that sense. If the votes are split between the other parties, the Cons can win.

Let me take a wild stab in the dark guess...you're a bit of a left winger...or even worse...you actually believe that Lizzy can do more than make a fool of herself at a party.

Enjoy your Starbucks this morning!

By all means vote against Harper but to say only 1% of Canadians are doing well or that he has "Destroyed the Environment" is just silly.Alberta has had an Oil industry for 50 years or more and the NDP there are even hoping for pipelines.

I actually like the anti immigrant stance and I'm not racist. Our 3 major cities are not equipped to keep letting so g.d.ed many people in. I don't know how old you are, but I remember when the average working person could afford to buy a house. Nothing good has come from an oversaturation of immigrants to this country.

Yeah, one way this could be dealt with is requiring 100% prior informed consent from every first nation for immigration policy. If one refuses, no immigration. After all, it's their land, right? Or at least, that is what I hear consistently from left-wingers. Funny how I bet they'd balk at requiring 100% first nations consent to immigration policy.

I will vote for the party with tough immigration laws.. this country is getting out of hand.

I AM Canadian, not an immigrant.
This country was built by the pioneers ....if the pioneers never came there would be no Canada. There was nothing here ....
As for the immigrants , refugees, etc.. What are THEY building?
or are THEY taking what was built for the present, and future Canadians.

It has been out of hand for some time. 250k+ or so immigrants/refugees per year since 1990. That works out to over six million people, or about 1/5th of Canada's population in 1990. We're being colonized, not even slowly, and anyone who questions this colonization is being 'racist.'

The beneficiaries are corporations, who get cheap labor, and political parties, who get voting blocks that simply don't exist traditionally in Canada. It wasn't covered very well by the media, the whole 'ethnicgate' thing, which was spun as Evil Christy Clark trying to take advantage of the innocent ethnic minorities. BS.

When are we going to have a public discussion about the impact that massive immigration is having on Canada's political culture? Clearly, the countries that these immigrants come from don't have the great political culture Canada has, otherwise they wouldn't need to come here. So, what is more likely, that they are improving our political culture, or that they are dragging it down, making it more like the exact political culture that made their home countries so unlivable that they came to Canada?

There was a time on the Internet when in September, the new undergrads would get internet connections, and it would take a while to break them in and teach them the customs. In September 1993, American Online allowed its users to access usenet, and after that point it was "eternal september" because there was no possible way that a relatively small number of acculturated internet users could break in that many AOL lusers.

So the same thing can happen to Canada, or, I fear, already has happened. Magical thinking about Canadian Institutions/Identity being so strong that they can absorb any number of people and acculturate them is ridiculous. Every system has a finite number of people that it can absorb and acculturate over a given time period. And this is without going into the economic issues with TFWs, immigration, etc.
