Because Les Miserables + Obama campaign = FTW.



Speaking of elections, does anyone else think that the Conservatives got possessed by a bunch of five year-olds? They're using potty/really bad humour against the other parties. And Harper not letting Elizabeth May into the Leader's argument thing was like the little boy club that won't let girls in because they might have cooties. Despite the exact same thing happening with his old party before they merged with the Conservatives (whose name has completely fallen out of my head. It starts with an r, right? Reform?).

Plus that wasn't very smart of Layton, either. Psssh!

Actually, now that I think of it, I've only seen Conservative ads with Harper's creepy smile and none from the other parties. Maybe I'm just missing them all!

Tru fax, Harper: you're breaking your own rules and then whining when people actually follow them. Please grow up if you want to be a real PM of the country. Which you probably won't, as this'll just turn into another minority government. So HAH.

I'm going to vote tomorrow, since I won't be around in my riding when there's actual voting happening, and I have no clue what my new address is. You can tell who I'm not voting for. XD

ETA: The Green Party's website isn't looooooading how am I supposed to make an intellectual choice without seeing their platform? D: Also the NDP opening page reminds me of a dairy commercial, for some odd reason. And here's a question: if you want to be a politician, do you have to wait for the guy that's in your riding to retire? Is it possible to have too many politicians in a party?

ETA²: Okay, the Green Party's website takes forever to load, and now I can't get to their platform page. The Liberals don't even have a platform page, from what I can see; they're pointing fingers at the Conservatives (like they always do), and they have huge articles which probably do have piece of the platforms, but I'm a teenager, I don't have the patience to read through all the political babble. The NDP have got it down; they've got everything they stand for as buttons, and when you click on one it sends you to a more detailed description of what that part of their platform means.

To be fair, I put up with going to the Tories's website, and it looks like they've got their plan mapped out pretty well too (with helpful check marks for all their points and big x's for where the other parties fail at that key point they're talking about). The rotating pictures of Harper at the top doesn't improve my feelings towards the party, though. :<

Aaaand now the Green's platform works, yay! Looks like it's set up really well too. So I guess just the Liberals fail at platform stuff.

ETA³: Guys, I feel like a stupid idiot who shouldn't call herself a history lover. I seriously though Sir John A. Macdonald was a Liberal! But he was a Conservative! World: just totally flipped.

And Sir Wilfred Laurier's buried in Ottawa! Hot diggity dog I kinda want to go see the statue they've got over his grave, 'cause it looks huge. Mackenzie King's in Toronto, Trudeau's in Quebec, and Macdonald's in Kingston; I think those're all the PMs graves I'd like to see. Which is pretty sad, seeing that I've been to three of the four places and I didn't go see them! Shame on me shame shame.
