    In a Sunday Review opinion piece a writer spears PM Harper for doing as little as possible and being as secretive as he could about what he wasn't doing.

    I would say Harper doesn't do much in the way of damage, but just not much good either. I voted for him last time but this time I'll move to someone else.

    In my area, Central - Nova I am about 95% certain that I will be casting my ballot for Liberal candidate Mr. Sean Fraser.

    I was really glad to read that Sean had spent some time in South Africa. I taught English in Quito, Ecuador for over a year and I believe that seeing a third world nation with our own eyes changes us forever.

    In the 2011 federal election I voted for Mr. Peter MacKay. I thought that he had done an amazing job while he was Minister of Defence.

    Off topic but Quito is on my bucket list.

    I haven't decided Liberal vs. NDP yet. I'm leaning toward NDP but I think Justin might just pull some interesting rabbits out of the hat. I like that he turfed Liberals Senators out of the caucus and I think he might just have some vision going on.

    I voted for NDP candidate Jim Boudreau in two out of the last three provincial level elections, so I can certainly understand why you would lean in that direction.

    I have to admit that if either Mr. Fred Delorey or the local NDP candidate were to grab onto the best advice that I could think of to give to Green Party Leader Ms. Elizabeth May, then of course I reserve the right to decide at the last moment to vote for somebody other than the obviously impressive candidate that my Liberal Party has selected for my area.

    Ignorance shown in my 2008 campaign, my apology to Ms. Elizabeth May!
    ....(post #3).....

    Ms. May…… a Green Party Volunteerism Hour somewhat like the Ithaca Hour or Green Party Volunteerism Dollars somewhat like Calgary Dollars could be initiated years before Canadians are ready to support carbon pricing.

    Here is how I worded this idea over on the official Liberal Party Discussion forum:

    It seems obvious to me that if Canada's Green Party were to come out with a Green Party Volunteerism Hour or something along that line........... they could grab so much attention and enthusiasm, that they could overtake the NDP.

    In a way, that is a major incentive for Mr. Tom Mulcair to seriously consider an option such as this.

    I do personally believe that both Mr. Jack Layton as well as Tommy Douglas, as well as Premier Bible Bill Aberhart are watching from a higher dimension of space - time, and I am sure that they would approve of any measure to replicate some variation on the Worgl, Austria local money experiment here in Canada at this time.
