Canada's elections - October 14
Sheriff Roland:
Advanced polling - Ahh! My nearest local advanced polling place is about 4 km away. But it's all good cause I'm not completely sure of voting NDP yet - what with the Liberals having a significant surge going for them right now.
Here in Ontario, (or at least in Toronto and in the North), the Conservatives run 3rd in most ridings, and the useless local Liberal (Allan Tonks) is most likely to win, no matter how I vote. Locally, the NDP would do more that Tonks and if Tonks' numbers go significantly down, maybe he'll retire for the next elections.
You, however are in the Conservative (Tory) heartland. Who's likely to come in 2nd in your riding? a Liberal? I'm sure the plurality of your Tory MP (member of Parliament) is likely to be huge - it usually is, isn't it?
Did you hear today's Harper's 'doomsday' scenario? He's refering to Dion as 'Prime Minister' Dion. In some quarters, that dosen't sound so bad. I for one never got use to "Prime Minister Harper", but I guess that's just me.

Ah yes.. I am in Tory Heartland as you say. :)
I fear no matter what, majority of Albertans will vote PC (Ed Stelmach heads the 11th straight Tory government elected by Albertans);
The Liberals are likely to come in 2nd, followed by NDP.

You are not alone... I was never enthusiastic about Harper either.
Speaking of Harper, what did you think of his dragging his mother's stock market woes into his campaign?

Sheriff Roland:
