Yay! Congrats on your first election! This will be my second federal election that I have voted in.

I think the issues that I want to see addressed in this election are our soldiers in Afghanistan. health care (and the idea of a two teared system like in Europe), the environment, and also our criminal justice system in this country. That's all I can really think of right now.

I'm still kind of confused as to what Harper meant by saying Dion was a "triple threat". I didn't read the story on it. Can someone explain that to me?

Honestly, I don't really see Leyton as having a shot. Maybe as being the go-to party if another minority is formed but not for forming the next government.

One of my profs (I'm a political science major) said that she thought if an election happened right now that we'd probably see a Conservative majority. Honestly, I'm not sure if I agree or not. It's possible considering how badly organized the Liberal party is right now but then more and more people are also voting for parties such as the Green party. So I'm not sure.

I think the Liberals are still being plagued by the sponsorship scandal. It's certainly that way in my house. My dad refuses to vote for them because they are "crooks" and "thiefs". But I also think a part of their problem is their leadership and the organization of the party in general.
