My take on the whole election, for what it's worth is this.
It's most definitly time for the Liberals to clear out their back room. Enough is enough. Paul Martin on the whole seems to me like a decent enough smart guy. He also seems a bit desperate these days and for good reason. Stephen Harper gets a bad rap from a lot of the more left leaning folk in Canada. He is not the devil incarnate nor is he Georgies puppet. The Conservatives in Canada are far from the Cons in the US. In fact, I'd say they more closely match the Dems there. Anyway, Harper's a bright guy and I think he'd be a good PM. Certainly wouldn't be the end of the world if he gets a majority. Probably the best thing that could happen to Canada at this point.
Duceppe strikes me as the most reasonable of the 4 leaders, though for the life of me I can't wrap my head around why we have a seperatest party running in a federal election. And Layton, well he's the only one I don't like in the least. "We're here too", "there's a 3rd option...". Though I'm sure most of my distaste for him comes from my general dislike of the NDP in general.
Either way, it's a pretty amazing Country we live in, the govenment gets overturned and the place doesn't decend into chaos. Pretty minor differences we're debating over when comparing these 4 parties on the grand scheme of things.
