I used to show which party I generally support in my avatar, but I removed it. As a true-blue (oops) Canadian, I didn't want to offend anyone by attempting to influence how people might vote. I also didn't want to risk damaging anyone's health by having them launch into a blood pressure-raising rant on why I would be such a low-level scumbag by having the nerve to vote for that particular party. As a Canadian, my feelings of self-esteem are first and foremost on my mind, and I felt I needed to protect myself from any disparaging comments that might make me feel like I had made a "wrong" choice. I just couldn't take it.
However, just for the record, I will go out on a limb just this once and tell you that I actually voted for our Conservative candidate in the last election. And she won. Which means she's part of the current government.
Sorry, I was hesitant to say that but as a Canadian, I felt it only fair to disclose this information in the hopes that my sense of conscious would be appeased.
Oh dear, now I'm in a personal situation of conflict between my conscience and my sense of self-esteem...
