Chuck U. Farlie Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) So I started researching the candidates in my local riding today... Mississauga East - Cooksville riding... and what a joke. I almost prefer not to vote! I was planning to vote Conservative, but the local candidate is some sort of a ex or amateur model who was denied by the liberals so she went blue.... I have very little or no interest in the other parties, and I don't think any of the other candidates deserve my vote. In fact, I don't think any of the candidates in this riding deserve the salary they will get as a politician - or the pension they would get if they get enough years in. But what choice do I have if I want to exercise my duty as a citizen? I almost wish there was a 'none of the above' option that if the majority selected it could call for another sub-election with different candidates. Some might say if you are not happy with the candidates, then run yourself... but I don't have the time or the desire to put myself in that sort of a predicament.... I just wish these parties could offer me a little more substance for my vote! Edited October 4, 2008 by Chuck U. Farlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpwozney Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 But what choice do I have if I want to exercise my duty as a citizen? In this election campaign, how many different choices are there for Queen? How many different possible outcomes, for who is Queen after voting day, does this election involve?
