How do you vote?

I vote based on what I know of the candidate's character. That's why it's so damn hard for me to vote!
I voted for the "Anyone But Conservative" candidate. In my riding, that was the incumbent Liberal. I would have prefered to vote NDP or Green, but the thought of a neo-conservative majority is far too scary. I want Canada run by someone who represents Canada's best interests, not someone who uses the same talking points as Bush (USA), Sarkozy (France), Merkel (Germany) and Brown/Cameron (UK). I don't want Bush's puppet masters controlling Canada. The Australians cut the strings and got rid of Howard. Hopefully the Americans will cut the strings and get rid of Bush/McCain.
If the local Conservative candidate didn't have a chance (based on last election results), I would have voted based on a combination of national party policy and local candidate competence. In other words which ever candidate was the most qualified between the Green and the NDP. But considering the danger represented by a Harper majority, I held my nose and voted Liberal.

Wonderful. How about this as a political slogan:
Why vote for us when you could vote against Harper!
Vote against! Vote Liberal!
I think it would have a nice ring to it if we could make a TV ad out of it. So when you go out to vote, folk, just remember:
Vote against! Vote Liberal!

...but you earned the right to bitch just by getting your name stroked off the don't give a damn list...
Voting for the Party that you think closest represents you (whether they get in or not) earns you the right to
complain for the next four years (unless it's a minority government and an election is called sooner). If you
don't vote, you should forfeit your right to complain, and that would be just unCanadian.
I'm Canadian., my right to bitch and moan is garrenteed under charter and in no way conditional on my voting.
