    Is it just me or is the NDP the only party that has a clear platform? Martin makes promises, but he always uses vague generalities and if you look at the specifics, they're never as impressive as he makes them out to be. The conservatives don't even have a leader. And you have Layton challenging Harper to debates and ripping apart Martin's arguments like they're nothing.

    I'm pretty curious to see if the NDP could actually pull off any of what they claim. And yet, it's the NDP that has the most comprehensive plan laid out for the public to see.

    I'd still like to see that foreign ownership was going to be reduced and that Nafta was going to be either ditched or renewed so Canada has some say in it's own trade options. And that they would first thing - kick Cellucci across the border where he belongs. I'd vote for anyone that would do that frankly. Because to me that would say that party really cares about Canada first.

    CANADIAN ACTION PARTY puts Canada first! However, as of late I hear better things from Jack. But he`s got to say more, just like you said, 4Canada. What about NAFTA? We`ve gotta scrap it! It`s killing us! But i`m glad he`s unearthing the Romanow report again, because Martin acts as though it`s dead and buried!

    Although I don't believe in "strategic voting" (which might be unnecessary after electoral reforms on the part of the NDP), desperate times call for desperate measures.

    The strengths of the NDP lay in social programs, the environment, and human rights. The strengths of CAP lay in economic reform.

    I say vote for the NDP because Jack Layton has already promised electoral reform as his prerequisite to a minority government with the liberals. And the electoral reform will get CAP member elected.

    Besides, the NDP and CAP will probably join forces after the election. So lets get some of them into parliament and if Layton lets us down on the NDP-CAP coalition party, THEN tear up your membership cards.

    Well, that's my plan anyways.
