Vote Conservative guys, it's October 10.

Edit: And by vote, I mean tell your parents/friends!!

Yes, I shall vote in the Ontario elections...

>_<

Commonwealth countries can vote in our elections but we can't vote in theres....

Hmm, Maybe I should check that...

Conservative? Not going to happen. I support the public schools.

There is no one good to vote for this round (Is there ever?) The Liberals are compulsive liars, the Conservatives want us to support every separate school, and not the public ones, the NDP's will put us in debt... again, and the Green Party doesn't have much of a platform.

Besides, I don't think that many of those on the board are Canadians, much less Ontarians, anyway.

Nobody who wants to rule is in any way suitable to do so. The only good political party in the UK are the Monster Raving Loony Party.

When you say "On the board" you mean the people running? They have to be Canadian to run obviously.

And the Conservatives aren't doing anything to public schools, if anything, they're saving Catholic schools. The Liberals are planning on closing everything and making it all public on the grounds that (this is hilarious) "Catholic schools promote segregation". Segregation is everywhere even in public schools!

The entire Liberal platform is pretty much "oh let's bribe the voters with a random day off"

*facepalm*

Uuugh... by promoting faith-based separate schools, you are promoting creationism. Destroy 'em all, I'm all for secular public schooling.

People are entitled to their own beliefs and should have the freedom to express their own religion.

Edit: And anyway, I don't know about you, but creationism was never "promoted" in my school. We were taught evolution in science, and in religion, not everything is taken literally.

I always vote monster raving loony >.>
they never get in...

They've won local council seats, though. One of these days the entire country will just get fed up and vote the Loonies in...

What's the age limit in Canada? For voting.

18. Although we have student elections that schools sign up for.

My school's a little insane about it. This guy made signup sheets and a lot of the Conservatives run around malls, hospitals etc. Telling people to vote.

Is it just me or am I the only one from the U.S.A.?

I'm not from The United States, but I live there.

My school has a Communism system. It used to be Democraticish, I suggested Parlimentary and some people agreed, and then we had student wars. Some were for Imperialism, some for Democracy, some for a Dictatorship, some for Parlimentary(very minor tweaks included), and some for Anarchy. Eventually, the teachers were fed up with the arguments, and truned it into sufferable Communism, with the Faculty acting as the Government.

...I thought schools were just dictatorships by default? Communism would imply all pupils and teachers are equal... (but some are more equal than others)

No, this is a stricter form of communism, with some characteristics changed. meaning that yes, all pupils and teachers are equal... except the teachers.

Ahh, the *realistic* form of communism, where everyone is equal but some are more equal than others. Does that mean that the highest year have the same rights and everything as the lowest year?

Pretty much. Doesn't matter how much you can earn. Frustrating.

Plutocracy forevah!!! :D

The thing with communism is that human nature and the pursuit of power both render it unfeasible. The idea itself is great, but I prefer capitalist democracy.

Guys, October 4-5 is Student elections (might vary in your area)

Non-Canadian students are able to vote (They don't check id) so like if you're American or something, just drop by and vote CONSERVATIVE!

Oh and John Tory dropped the faith-based funding (slightly), so your conscience should be clear :)
