	Geez, its getting kinda hot in this news group.  Thought I'd better
	put in my two cents worth before experiencing terminal meltdown.
	Unfortunately because of our archaic (sp?) methods of determining
	when the polls close, us Westerners don't really have any say
	in the government unless of course Quebec and Ontario can't make
	up their mind who they want to govern.  All too often, we can only
	tune into the news and find out who the government will be prior
	to any of our votes being counted.

	HOWEVER, I'll still vote against Trudeau and his fanny-patting
	replacement simply because the Liberals have had one hell of a long
	time in power and quite simply have screwed it up.  I don't know
	if the PC, NDP, Rino, SC, Communists etc. can do any better but its
	time to find out.  A lot of PC votes will hopefully install a
	majortiy government who will have 4 (or 5) years to try to get the
	country turned around while an NDP or other vote will put us in the
	position of again having a minority government that can't implement
	a lot of their plans.  In either case they sure are starting in a
	deep, (Liberal prepared) hole.

	Hey, this feels almost as good as net.flame.
