my ndp candidate seems to be an anti-science hippie with few views of her own that will just occupy the seat, zombie like, and vote as she's told. total backbencher.

my liberal candidate seems to be some kind of business person that is critical of nafta and calling for it to be renegotiated - which is not likely to happen. but a bit of contrariness and independent thought is a bit more appealing to me. he seems to be pro-active in cross-border issues. trade is one of the big issues that has turned me off the liberals. this guy looks like he's a rogue liberal that's a bit more in the style of the old liberals i had somewhat of a fondness for. he may end up a little outside the caucus, but maybe he can shake it up a little.

the green candidate is quoted in papers as a liberal party activist as recently as late 2013. i'm guessing he's going to sound like a mcguinty liberal, but there's basically no information as of yet.

i don't want to vote for a zombie. and, if the green candidate and liberal candidate end up being indistinguishable, it seems foolish to vote for the one with the lesser chance of winning.

i may end up voting for the damned liberals. we'll have to see how the ndp candidate defines herself, but i'm really not expecting much besides memos from head office.
