Well, not only we're about to kick off the 40th Oktoberfest in K-W this weekend; immediately after that, on Tuesday October 14th, all Canadians will vote in the 40th Canadian Federal Election. We will be electing members of the House of Commons, which will replace the Parliament dissolved by the Governor General on September 7, 2008. Those 308 Members of the Parliament (MP) will eventually nominate our next Prime Minister. This is schedule to happen on November 12, 2008.

There are many places where you can find information about the political parties and their candidates, and since many have already come over looking for that info only to find last year's post, why not update it?

Like I said last year: Vote. If you don't, then I don't think you have the right to complain about any government. These decisions affect our lives directly, do not be indifferent.

Bueno, no sólo tenemos el inicio del cuadragésimo Oktoberfest en K-W este fin de semana; inmediatamente después, el martes 14 de Octubre, los canadienses votaremos en las cuadragésimas elecciones federales de Canada. Elegiremos miembros de la Cámara de los Comunes, los que reemplazarán al Parlamento disuelto por nuestra Gobernadora General el pasado 7 de Septiembre. Estos 308 miembros del Parlamento (o MPs) van a nominar a nuestro Primer Ministro. Esto está programado para que pase el 12 de Noviembre de 2008.

Hay muchos lugares en los que se puede encontrar información sobre los partidos políticos y sus candidatos, y como mucha gente ya han venido por aquí buscando esa información, sólo para encontrarse con la de las elecciones del año pasado, por qué no actualizarnos?

Como dijera el año pasado: Voten. Si no lo hacen, yo creo que no tienen derecho a quejarse de ningún gobierno. Estas decisiones afectan nuestras vidas directamente, no sean indiferentes.
