One more week until the Election, and Harper's Conservatives are in the lead.
YIKES!
See Rick Mercer's blog for some scary information about some of the more socially conservative members of the party - some interesting quotes, to say the least (as well as a wicked photo contest. See below for two of my fave examples; see the blog for photo credits, as these aren't mine). And, check out Sam's blog for some quality personal rants about how frightening a Harper government could be.
One can hope that, as with the 2004 election, people will change their minds en masse the day of the election.
Remember, Downtown Toronto voters, that almost all of the tight races are Liberal-NDP, not Conservative-Liberal. In my riding, Ianno won over Chow by 804 votes in 2004, the result of traditionally Liberal suburban voters moving into the new condo developments near the waterfront, and `strategic voting' done to prevent the non-existent-in-downtown-Toronto Convervatives from winning. Whoops.
In the end, whatever you do, just VOTE, dammit. You can't have a say if you don't take the time to vote.

That photo of Harper reminds me of the time I was duct-taped to the cafeteria wall in high school.
Before you feel sorry for me and think I was the victim of an incredibly slow and tedious hazing ritual, it was a contest that I willingly entered, being the lightest of my group of friends. First prize went to the person who stayed up the longest - I came in second place.
Good times, good times.
