Completely agree...

Voting NDP. I had thought I might vote Green but once I checked out their platform I could see that they are essentially just an alternative for the old PC party. Their environmental platform nowhere near as strong as the NDP's and their belief that tax cuts are the answer to job and wealth creation are just as flawed as when I hear it coming from Harper's mouth...

My local candidate is Jack Layton. I've met him a few times, I've seen him speak a few times. Everytime I've seen him I've been impressed with his ideas and his ability to form coalitions across the political spectrum. In his days in the Toronto city council (which is bigger in size and budget than a number of provincial governments) he was one of the candidates that consistently got things done. He did this by being able to find common ground with those he would normally not agree with... partisanship is not an issue with him.

I look forward to seeing him help form a coallition goverment by backing the Liberals in a minority government.
