Frosty, the reception

Many people seem to be angry at the timing of this Federal election, i've seen many cross-country interviews of citizens who don't plan to vote because they don't want another election, ah the joys of democracy! In fact, this issue is becoming large enough that it is turning into an election issue itself, with the Liberals blaming the opposition for the election, and so apparently thats a reason to vote Liberal. weird.

But, fear not dear friends, I am hear to cheer you up this holiday season. For I present to you reasons that a federal election campaign is a great idea this holiday season!

1. Just wait to shovel your driveway until you see a candidate come to knock on your door, at that precise moment, go outside to shovel it, and I guarantee you will not have to do the task alone!

2. The guilt trips and sob stories that you hear from the NDP candidates will make you realize that you really don't have it so bad.

3. Watching a Liberal lose is alot more joyful than getting a new pair of socks for christmas!

4. Encouraging a candidate that you don't intend to vote for to help you put up your christmas lights and wrap presents for your family is a great use of both your time, and theirs.

5. Political advertising on TV, and in Newspapers will make it harder for businesses to try to convince us how a gym membership and other useless items are actually decent christmas presents.

So cheer up Canada, vote, don't vote, its your right. But lets ensure complaining doesn't become another Canadian tradition at Christmas.

Anyone else have some good reasons for why a christmas/winter election could be fun?

We at DowntownConservatives do not encourage or support in any way any rude conduct towards any candidate in an election. Many of us have volunteered in campaigns, and will definitely do so again, and we know first hand how difficult it is to go door knocking to convince people to vote for your party, let alone to do so in this extreme cold weather. My hat's off to every candidate and volunteer who is committed enough to do so. Its definitely not easy to get a door slammed in your face, I can't imagine getting a door slammed in my face and be freezing at the same time.
