Very well put together post. I heard last night that you guys spent 2 years and 3 Billion dollars on this election, only to end up in the exact same place you were. That kinda hurts.

I have NO idea why voter ID is an issue. That's ridiculous to me. Here you need a photo ID and I'd be worried if you didn't. How do these people buy booze or get on an airplane? I'm sorry, but if you're capable of leaving the house to vote, you can go down to the DMV and get an ID card. I don't understand the debate on the other side at all.

I hope you guys do figure out a way to get a fiscally conservative 3rd party going, and you're right, not with a nutjob like Ron Paul running it. I don't really have much of a vested interest in your politics down there, but it's certainly interesting, and a strong US economy is good for Canada to be sure. Cut out the hippies and the bible thumpers and you'll be good to go.
