If people eat their ballots, then that nut-case Stockwell Day will get 
in.  Right-wingers aren't angst-ridden about voting. Don't we have to 
vote strategically, even if that means voting for the Liberals?

Having to decide between Tweedledum and Tweedledee -- that's not a 
choice -- that's a threat. Our electoral system favors a two-party race, 
and we should reject it. We have to start working towards a democratic 
system that doesn't force people to vote for the lesser of two evils (or 
the evil of two lessers). We can't keep jumping from election to 
election, voting for one moron because we're terrified that there's 
something worse. Now's the time to stop legitimizing this process and 
take a stand for fundamental, long-term change.  It's more important to 
call attention to the farce of electoral politics than to split-hairs by 
choosing between Tweedledumb andTweedledee (or The Mad Hatter, the Queen 
of Hearts and the Doormouse for that matter).
