Canadians will head to polls June 28
May 23, 2004

OTTAWA – May 23, 2004 – And they’re off!


Canadians will head to the polls June 28 after Prime Minister Paul Martin made the official election call at Rideau Hall today, kick-starting 36 days of campaigning.



Prime Minister Paul Martin watches as
Governor General Adrienne Clarkson signs the writ


Governor General Adrienne Clarkson accepted the formal writ drop, which means political candidates in all 308 ridings will immediately hit the hustings in their bid to sweep the nation Liberal red.

Canadians can expect an exciting race that will see federal political parties presenting their visions for the future of Canada.

This marks Canada’s 38th general election since Confederation. The last election was held November 27, 2000.

1. Oh joy,
It's probably a case of call the election before things get worse. The ad scandal, the judicial revives still out. I have a court appearance June 28. Will I have to re-schedule so my witnesses can vote? If so, I'll be pissed.

2. Just make sure that you vote...
If this doesn't put the fear of the almighty bilderburger in you, nothing will.

3. Oh yeah, Harper would be the worst thing for Canada
.
.

He has criticized everything from the status of Canada to the value of Alberta where he seems to be loved so much

go figure

to me

Harper would be our Canuk version of the BoyKing

a wee bit of Harper's statements











Oh yes, I know it's linked from a Liberal site -

but it's true - I guess it's their version of JK's "Dbunker" :thumbsup:

5. I've voted in every election since I turned 18
I also spent 20 years in Alberta. Reform, under whatever name they happen to be using this week, scares the hell out of me because I've heard the "grass roots" and know what they want.

VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN

4. Just spent the day planting signs on people's lawns
Don't expect much in the way of evening posting from me for the next month. I'm gonna be busy.
