Stephen Harper, Canadian Prime Minister dissolves Parliment ( with battery acid apparantly ) and calls an election for Oct 14. Thats in ...about 37 Days. Why does it take America over 2 years to do something we can do in 37 days?

OMG! Canada has an elected governent? Christ, can we be any more self-interested that we don't even know the rudiments of our neighbor to the North? Many blessings on the lovely Canadians, who get little thanks for the good they do. candystripper [sm=pole.gif]

Say something like "I'm voting for the voices in my head." Maybe they will stop calling after some bizarre comment like that. L Vote Green

There you go again. [sarcasm] you Canadians are not happy if you dont think that you have an election! See how you are? Sureeeeeeeeeeee upstage the US "contest"....... assuming the US even has a change in the power that we are suppose to. 37 days huh. and you think you have free will. you dont. and neither do we. [sorry] if voting made a difference it would be illegal. / end / But now seriously. A word of advice here. Hold their feet to the fire! Be a pain in the behind. Make your views known to the governors.... Silence is a way of approval. Best of luck. :-)

Contrary to belief pa, most of us Canadians don't look forward to having elections every time we turn around. A large percentage of the population feel that early elections are mainly a blatant waste of our tax money. Granted we may seen blase about this though we do take an active role at election time.
