Canada Elections Warning
Please be careful who you mark on your voting ballot on the 23rd.
If you're voting for the conservatives, make sure you know ahead of time who is in the riding for your area. There is a scheme in elections canada to confuse the ballots and deter people from voting conservative.
Elections Canada marks their voting ballots with acronyms, and are using this method to confuse voters.
For the Progressive Conservatives with Stephen Harper, they are marking the ballots with the "CON"
The initials "PC" on the ballot actually stands for the Progressive Canadian Party which is basically a fake party created a couple of years ago so they would show up first in alphabetical order of the party listing. They are not the conservatives.
So when you vote, beware, and make sure you know who is riding for the conservatives in your area.

If I recall the last time I voted, the party name is not even on the ballot!
They only put the name of the candidates so I do believe you have been misinformed. I highly doubt that Elections Canada would bother with some silly "scandal" like that.
But you are correct that one should know who is running for what party; but also what that particular candidate stands for.
*thinks* It wouldn't surprise me, really. But it's true that we do have to know who we're voting for, as in the candidate.
As for "silly scandal" Just because Elections Canada does it, doesn't mean they're all up there in the morals department. I mean, look at the government. So it wouldn't surprise me if there was.
Go Canada!
My bad... apparently the name of the party was on the ballot this year, so my roommate says. Hmm. last time I voted by regular ballot, I'm sure the party wasn't on the ballot.
But scandal? I think not
