alexmegamiHarper's own people are leaving the party?
"Tamara Kronis, who resigned as president of the party's Trinity-Spadina riding association on Tuesday, said that controversial comments by Ms. Gallant and Mr. Merrifield, along with Mr. Harper's decision to allow free votes on social issues, was too much for her.
"Stephen Harper's willingness to entertain private member's bills on abortion and capital punishment, to weaken laws that protect gays and lesbians from hate crimes, and to override Charter rights on these and other issues has shaken beyond repair my confidence that a Conservative government led by Mr. Harper will respect the fundamental rights of Canadians," Ms. Kronis wrote in her letter of resignation."
That certainly gives me an idea of who I'm not voting for.
Unfortunately, according to the polls right now, it looks like NDP supporters are bouncing to the Liberals to prevent a Conservative majority (or Conservative minority with Bloc support).
Martin's support in Québec is even lower than it is in Alberta, and that's, well, scary.
I wish there was a regional poll to let me know where the parties currently stand in my area.

On a side note, as one of their Health issues, the NDP wants to return ParticipAction. That makes me want to vote for them solely for that blast from the past. XD

Date: 2004-06-10 09:40 am (UTC)K/W incumbent is Liberal: Andrew Telegdi, and he has a pretty good chance of staying in. He's also the biggest supporter of equal marriage (source: www.equal-marriage.ca)
