Thank you for all the links. I haven't known which way to look for information.

For some humor rants try Rick Mercer. I quite enjoyed the videos

Thanks for the links! I'm not a fan of Ignatieff, but I'm pretty sure Harper has gone insane and anything would be an improvement.

Keep an eye out for strategic voting sites. I think they'd be a great method of turning this election around if everybody uses it.

I'm not either really, but I like my Liberal MP candidate quite a bit and the NDP one not so much. Green hasn't really been big in my area either so likely not going to make the cut. I'd still choose Ignatieff over Layton though I think the NDP do need to have a voice in parliament (as well as some of the more intelligent conservatives and green party).
