Inspired by a similar thread on the U.S. election, I figure us Canadians should do the same. I’ll go first:

Ontario (London North Centre) - NDP

Alberta (Calgary South Centre) - because of Reform V3.0’s strength in Alberta I will vote Liberal although I used to vote NDP then I was Green (and off topic Green Party is someone whom I dislike on a personal level) .

Montreal, Westmount-Ville Marie.

I’m probably going to vote NDP, although I’m going to do some more research on the specific candidates in my riding, which will absolutely go Liberal no matter what I vote. The only other party that is a contender for me right now is Green.

I live in New York, so I have no idea who I get to vote for… Guess I gotta visit Elections Canada.

Scarborough-Agincourt (Ontario)

The Marijuana Party.

No, not really. Not sure yet. Not Liberal or NDP, don’t understand/trust the new conservative party configuration, have to give it some more thought.

Edmonton, AB. I’ll be voting Conservative, because if you don’t I think they can kick you out of the province.

Live in Oakville (hate it) but vote in Oxford County. I’m voting NDP.

If there’s a chance Conservatives can win I’ll vote for whoever is in a position to beat them.

Saskatoon (Saskatoon-Blackstrap)

Undecided as of yet between Liberal and NDP. The incumbent is one of those Conservative Reform Alliance types, and I would think she’s a safe bet for re-election.

British Columbia - Marijuana Party

Actually, I’m just saying that because I’m still brushing up the politics. It’s going to be my first election and I want to know all the lies they’re telling me before I vote. My parents vote Liberal, and I’m probably leaning towards that way, but I’ll stick with the throwaway party until I decide for certain. 🙂

Ontario, Niagara Falls – No idea whatsoever.

The Liberal incumbant is retiring, I know nothing of his successor, and I don’t particularly trust the boss, Paul Martin, anyway.

I neither understand nor trust the Tory/Reform/Alliance/Conservo-whatevers but will give Stephen Harper the benefit of the doubt.

My sympathies lie towards the NDP and I like Jack Layton but the last time I voted NDP, they actually won! :eek: (Bob Rae).

[Don Kossick](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/elections/fed2004/candidates/generated/47002_NDP.html), the NDP candidate in Saskatoon-Blackstrap, is by far my favorite Saskatoon politician, and is one of the most compassionate and dedicated people I know, period. If most of the activist and university community comes out to vote, it may be a fairly close call.
