There is a bi election in my riding - mid way through someone's term they quit so a vacancy exists and it has to be filled
The Liberal government wants my vote yet again .
The Province banned smoking in bars and indoor public places. The business fought them the people fought them They went ahead anyway claiming they were elected on the platform. They were elected but that plank of the platform was buried in the back of thier red book - no one wanted ths except a small group of lobists .
Now I want to vote in the bi election not for the liberals but for anyone who will fight for this anti democratic move of the governments - Not one of the 4 parties looking for a seat will do it.
The public has just shrugged and said oh well it's a law now.
So Iam thinking of voteing for the Green party which won't win as my protest or the NDP that might win or maybe even the conservatives that don't stand a chance in hell - The race is between the NDP and the Liberals

I would vote for the NDP because they are the party tha most closely represents Canadian values I think, but I also think that the smoking ban is going to stay no matter what the party in power is. There is what is almost a consensus on the issue of tobacco smoke. It is very hard to defend tobacco and the majority of people are actually in favour of a ban. Even here in the province of Québec the smoking bans are coming into effect and Québec has always had the highest proportion of smokers. It's just part of the new reality.
And . . . no you're not the only Canadian.
