Canada’s Election Day Playlist

14 October 2008, Allan @ 8:30 pm Canadas Election Day Playlist

Today’s another election, the 3rd straight time where we’ve had and early dissolution from minority governments. I like minority governments, everyone has different beliefs and it should be properly represented in a system where it’s still flawed and some votes aren’t represented (which was the reason for some people agreeing to trade ballots). I’m personally voting for the NDP this time around, while the Conservatives and Liberals screw themselves in the butts with their smear campaigns, it’s clear the NDP is right choice from a political stand point. From the fledgling economy (which Conservatives are supposed to be good at managing) to the Ad-Scandals, a few things have kept getting worse (including healthcare – a big one having put at home for a good 8 weeks).

Anyway here is the playlist before I rant anymore:
Minority by Green Day
Over Soon by Broadcast 2000 (only 37 days to campaign, and I missed a lot of the debates)
The Switch and The Spur by The Raconteurs (switching ballots is legal but how do they do it? seems odd when asking for ID’s etc).
Breaking It Up by Lykke Li (dissolutions are fun, but apparently costly)
Pioneers by Bloc Party (Look for the Bloc Part aka Bloc Quebecois to continue their stronghold)
Mr. Orange by Dengue Fever (for Jack Layton, hopefully the orange tide is as strong as ever)
Harper Road by Sun Kil Moon (for the Prime Minister)
Morning Heat Leader by Broadfield Marchers (yeah that’s all I got for Dion)
Hard Times by Run DMC (hard times are spreadin’ like the flu!)
