Electoral Frog

I'm going to be the last one to beat this dead horse, and deliver a coup de gras.

The Canadian Election, which is going to be called any blinking second now, will be a rather simple affair.

The Liberals will lose, and if they lose by a large enough margin, Paul Martin will be sent, bags in tow, from the Liberal party leadership. The Conservative Party, led by Stephen Harper, will get a minority. I know it will be a minority, because Quebec currently doesn't want to have anything to do with Harper's Conservatives. Quebec will vote almost exclusively BQ. The Western provinces will be almost entirely Conservative, and the remainder will be NDP, with perhaps a smattering of Green party reps. Should the Conservatives lose this election, Stephen Harper will be joining Paul Martin on the curb-side.

Alright? This is very likely how this election will turn out. It's almost a sure thing that Canada will be divided during and after the impeding election... I guess it's only fair, after we ridiculed the United States for being divided by their President. Karma works that way, I guess.

I am, quite frankly at this time, apathetic towards casting my ballot. Every goddamned party in this nation is pandering itself to an age demographic that is almost twice as old as I am, and they could frankly care less whether I even vote in this election. This is ironic, because while parties like the NDP and Greens are out canvassing the target audience, that very same audience is ignoring them. They are already decided on the two mainstreamers, Conservatives and Liberals. If the leader of a political party got up on a podium and actually spoke to us of the younger crowd, we're a dragon waiting to be awakened.

We could put the stomps on all the democratic processes to date, if only somebody would care to talk to us before we got old and apathetic towards the democratic system, from their lack of interest in us.
