Check out this online survey - part of CBC's Canada Votes. Find out how your opinions on the issues match up with opinions of the major political parties. It takes about 5 minutes, and gives you a rating of how close you are to each of the candidates on issues like taxes, social policy, foreign policy, the economy, gun control...
Andy and the kids and I have been talking about how we get our political points of view. We agree that our parents are our biggest influences, but that experiences and learning help determine whether a child agrees or disagrees with his/her parents' point of view.
We also talked about whether voters relate more to issues or images, to the party or the individual candidate, the local MP or the leader. It depends on the person, but it's interesting to consider when examining one's own convictions.
Just a little over two weeks to election day.
question: how do you decide how to vote?
mompoet - interested in politics, influenced by parents, better informed on over-all philosophy than some of the issues, liking the candidates locally and federally (pleased to have met both) and eternally optimistic that this country and world will be okay
