Go Vote!

If you're a Canadian and you're reading this and you haven't yet. . .

Go vote!!!



Update:
This post is being updated in response to a comment made by gabriel. I'll help you out a little more with this whole voting thing. Here's the deal, if you have an informed conscience you'll want to vote for the party most likely to protect the rights of the most vulnerable members of our society and who are most likely to recognize and support the role of the family in Canada. First and foremost, if you have a pro-life candidate, vote for them. Seeing as those who are explicitly pro-life seem to be few and far between, the next best thing would probably be to vote for the Conservatives since they are most sympathetic to traditional family values. That's not a guarantee though since there are a few Conservative candidates who failed to inform their own consciences when it came to the vote in parliament on the redefinition of marriage last year. If you're unfortunate enough to live in a riding where your Conservative candidate doesn't understand what marriage consists of, then you might have a harder time deciding on who to vote for.

What really matters in this whole exercise of democracy is that you vote with an informed conscience. Informed. It's not too late to inform your conscience.
