We are already having ads going on here and it really is annoying to have it in your face all the time on TV. I'm with you...the mudslinging is horrible. I hope it gets better Lindsey, but it bothers alot of people.

I'm sorry, I hope starting this thread isn't a problem I just kind of wanted to vent about how unstable things have gotten here. I know it's much different in the USA, when you have a president he's there for 4 years, love him or hate him, unless something major comes up. It's much easier to overthrow the government here if anyone is upset about anything. This government was toppled because someone didn't agree with the federal budget.

The ads have started on tv already, we've already gotten tons of propaganda junk in the mail, and this morning I noticed people already starting to put signs up in their yards about who they support. With every election, it just seems to bring more division I think!

I just didn't know a government could be toppled because of a disagreement over the federal budget. You are right.. here we just have to wait 4 years and then sorta hope for the best

I love watching the legislative sessions in Great Britain, they are very rowdy, and seem to tell it like it is. Maybe if we could topple governments in the U.S., things would be different here. LOL!

No problem with me.......I don't want anyone not to talk about something political or any other topic, I just don't participate. So please don't give it a second thought.

I agree with Janet. I don't think that we have enough Canadians to cause much of an argument with you!!!

[Lindsey]

Lol, I don't really want to get into which side I'm on, who I support, or anything like that, but it is just more of a rant about how it just seems so petty and it's just another headache to go through another election before an election is due But oh well, that's politics! Is it just me, or are most politicians worse than cliquey girls in high school?

[DianaB]

Definitely worse than high school girls!!!!

[Janet]

I so agree.

I didn't even know the Canadian government had been overthrown! This is why I got a NY Times top news app on my Ipad! The news here is just silliness at this point. I know all about Charlie Sheen, but didn't know about Canada.

I am sorry that you have to be caught up in this. It does sound like the same political nonsense we have here. All those ads and fliers in the mail...boo!
