m speechless. How did we almost become conservatives? Do you hate Joyce Murray so much that you must vote Conservative?
Honestly, I thought Van Quadra would vote progressive or at the very least with the status quo.
check it out:
http://enr.elections.ca/ElectoralDistricts_e.aspx?ed=1323
Liberal 36.1%
Conserv 35.5% (seems incredibly high)
NDP 14.4%
Green 13.5%
Rhino 0.4%
CAP 0.1%
How did Liberals win by only 0.6%?
Ridiculous. I'm s ashamed of Vancouver Quadra.
Voter Turnout: 28 121 out of 83 121.
33.9% voter turnout.
What's the deal? You think it's the weather's fault?

Yes, I live in Vancouver Quadra and I do plan to vote on March 17, 2008.
Now I have only been a serous voter for a few years now. I'll be honest, I used to know zero politics and I really never used to care. But I'm getting used to being serious about my civic duties as I get older. I don't know who's bright idea it was to let me vote when I was 18. I seriously didn't deserve it. I basically picked the best, or funniest, name on the ballot and went with it. Yeah, that's right..I voted based on name. For example, in the last civic election I voted for Loretta Woodcock. Come on, Woodcock? How could I NOT vote for her if all I do is go by name? That's a funny name. I also was willing to vote for unnecessary long names or names I had no hope in pronouncing. Good times..
But those times are over. I'm taking my elections seriously. No more Woodcock. Wood... cock.
Ok, get over it. Let's put my serious face on.
So I'll give you a breakdown of Vancouver Quadra, info care of CBC http://www.cbc.ca/canadavotes/riding/302
-Bound by Arbutus St., 16th Ave., Oak St., 41st Ave. and Granville Street, and UBC
-6th Wealthiest riding in Canada
-2001 Census found that 36% were immigrants (largest proportion Chinese)
