                                             Name: __Alyssa Brewrod___________

   1. What is the date of the federal election? _May 2nd, 2011

           a. Who do you believe will be our next PM? Michael Ignatieff
           b. Why? Because many people want a change.



   2. What riding do you live in? Wetaskawin



   3. List the people who are running for Member of Parliament in
       your riding, along with their party affiliation and the party leader.

       Candidate                         Party                     Party Leader
Blaine Calkins                Conservative                   Stephen Harper

Chris Anderson                Liberal                        Michael Ignatieff

Tim Robson                    NDP                            Jack Layton

Robert Johnston               Green                          Elizabeth May

N/A                           Bloq                           Gilles Duceppe

N/A                           Pirate Party                   Mikkel Paulson


   3. Based on what you have learned the last 2 classes, where do you think
      you fall on the political and economic spectrum (right or left?) Why do you
      think this – what ideas make the most sense?
Although I find myself agreeing and disagreeing sides made on both sections of the
spectrum, I find myself agreeing with most of the left side. I enjoy the ideas of change
and freedom, but also structure and strictness. However, I enjoy the way the right side
involves themselves in people’s lives and runs a country.
4. Complete the Vote Compass survey on the CBC website to find out
      its recommendation for which party platform you most support
      (according to their question set).

Paste 2 screenshots below of your position on the economic and political
spectrum.
   a. Your overall left vs. right position.
   b. Choose 3 issues to set as “important” and recalculate your position.
5. Go to the Globe and Mail’s website and read through Party Platforms
   highlights on 10 key issues for Canadians.


      a. If you were able to vote in this election which party would you vote
         for and why? You must, make reference to 3 key issues written
         about in the Globe and the component of your party’s platform you
         most agree with. Explanations of why these ideas appeal and make
         sense to you must be included.

         All the platforms the parties represent are full of ideas that I see as
         positive and/or negative. If I was voting for a party based on their
         platform, I would vote Green Party. Although their educational
         ideas aren’t at the top of my list, it still is a safe vote. NDP has
         brilliant educational ideals to make it more affordable for post
         secondary. The Liberal party really just focuses on the lower
         income society, it doesn’t help anyone else, and education is hard
         to obtain for all people. Conservative “promises” to cut interest
         rates on loans. In the health sector, the Green Party once again
         secures my vote. Although Canada has a system of health care
         that many governments in the world are based on, we lack
         equipment. The Green Party’s platform states that new and better
         equipment will be purchased, care for First Nations will be provided.
         The NDP platform sounds great, but again, where are they coming
         up with the money? The Liberal Party wants for force healthy
         living, which I don’t believe is their choice to force. The
         Conservative Party has good ideals, but it is the “same old, same
         old”. They also would like to bring in an Adult Fitness Tax Credit,
         but again, it is not the government’s decision to decide the fitness
         of their people. The NDP has my defence interest. Although they
         are not destroying the military, they are cutting unnecessary
         spending and creating a safer military base. The Green Party has
         mediocre ideals while the Conservatives are spending way too
         much money. The Liberals barely mentioned military and they
         would just like to help veterans, which doesn’t solve all that much.
