Sure, well, I didn’t think that was directed at a specific poster, but OK. I’ve played by the rules for years here.
That was a kind of interlude and not a direct retort.
I’ll be OK after tomorrow.
Gotta love world time zones. It’s still the first of May here, and the polls won’t open for 13 hours or so in my area. 
I’m sure you’ll have no problem with Jack Layton being the next Prime Minister.
Digs aside, I’d like to urge all of you to go vote. I’ve noticed in the thread that many of you have already voted, and those of you who haven’t need to get your rosy red ass off the couch tomorrow and into a polling booth. Just do it!
:smack:
That wasn’t clear in your post, since bashere specifically had argued that crime was decreasing. In any case it’s better if you avoid that kind of turn or phrase when it might look like you’re talking to or about another poster.
If only Marley23 were Bev Oda, he could just insert the necessary “don’t” and claim he didn’t know where it came from… 
Thanks.
ETA: One sleepy to go…
I plan to vote tomorrow. My neighbour is a scrutineer at the local polling station, and if he doesn’t see me there, he plans to telephone and tell me to get over and vote!
Knowing him, I’m worried that he will stop by to remind me to vote while he is on his way to the polling station–at 7:00 a.m.! (Well, I will have the coffee on if he does.)
Plan to vote? Poor wording. I know you’ll be out there and I respectfully demand we all do the same.
Bon chance pour tout les parties.
Vote with your hearts, minds and imaginations, everyone, and may the future bring Canada peace and prosperity. Here’s hoping for a House of Commons filled with the most intelligent, passionate representatives from all the parties. Just as a good choir needs basses, tenors, altos and sopranos, it wouldn’t be Canada if we didn’t have strong people articulating the very different points of view we have all discussed here these last five weeks…
Well said.
Any for a round of:
Koo Loo Koo Koo Koo Koo Koo Koo!!!
Koo Loo Koo Koo Koo Koo Koo Koo!!!
Well Jack Layton and Olivia Chow are married to each other and were both MPs together . . .
And God Save the Queen !
Aw, take off, eh?
More in common than not.
Take care, mon ami.
I’m fortunate, in that the candidates for the three main parties in my riding are all good eggs, and the two that are dukeing it out for the win are acquaintances of mine. Its nice to know that whichever one gets elected, he will do a good job at representing my riding.
Classic Canadian comedy.
Wayne & Shuster - The Musical House of Commons
I was looking for the skit where they were deciding on best how to market the new house of commons TV broadcasts. Wayne did his best monkey faced expression as he pounded on the desk emulating a politician supporting his party’s line. Pure comedy gold!
Good point, and you’re right. How about this: I will vote tomorrow.
I wish we could say the same here. It looks like the Conservative will get in, but he’s refused to attend all-candidates forums, he’s apparently played up (if not outright falsified) his educational qualifications, and nobody knows what he does for a living. The local paper’s letters page has been mostly “don’t vote for this guy” for the past week. Apparently, he spent much of his time courting Mormon voters in this heavily-Mormon riding; which in a weird way, makes sense, as he is a Mormon. But he completely ignored the rest of us, and seems to want nothing to do with the rest of us or the issues we might raise.
And recently, he avoided a “street forum” convened to address the voters that he won’t face. It took place outside his campaign office. His campaign manager condescendingly sent pizza for the participants. The Youtube video, from CTV.
Will bin Laden’s death have an affect tomorrow?
