Re you' by the BBC? "You the BBC?"asked the Canadian voters we met generally.
"Yes, the BBC," said.
"So what do you here?" "You should cover the Royal Wedding will be."
Hardly a confidence vote on the importance of own elections.
Were true, Canada's third election always fight in just five years for attention, go, even if Prince William and his bride not down walking the course was.
It is only possible, however, that Canada is of a political earthquake.
' Growing rebellion'To go with just a few days, opinion polls suggest the leftist new Democratic Party (NDP), previously languishing in a close second behind the incumbent conservatives, under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper increased sitting with voters, has.
Instead the majority, he hoped, because he fights way what do what looks like a growing rebellion against Canada's political mainstream.The other largest party, the Liberals could push profits by the NDP to the edge.
"This is the strangest choice I've seen in more than 40 years," says veteran political journalist and moderator Dennis Trudeau.
If the results of the surveys match on Monday, Jack Layton, who never makes could the NDP and its charismatic leader have held above, even form a minority Government and reverse Canada right, Pro us drift.
Out on the stump in the constituency Brampton Springdale, one of the main battlegrounds, you could feel the change of in sentiment.
"I vote for this guy," says an elderly man, on a campaign leaflet picture of NDP leaders, such as local candidate of the party Manjit Grewal went door to door.
Horror in his voice, he admits that he last for the conservative party in the elections voted.
"they are only for rich people, the Conservatives and Liberals," says Hazel Crawford, explain why she would like to vote for the NDP.
Mr Grewal, local taxi drivers and for the first time candidate, recognizes his surprise at the response he received.
From behindThe NDP came in a distant third at the last elections in 2008.
Opinion polls suggest that NDP Jack Layton gained increasing support in the last few daysIn the local Conservative Campaign Office in the city of Brampton, the party's supporters optimistic see Ontario attempted.
Conservative parm Gill was defeated by the Liberals with only 700 votes in the last elections.
The party was a large amount of resources to Brampton, taking over a whole floor of a large office block and filled it with computers, telephones, and scores of election monitors, all under the supervision of a senior expert parachute from the party headquarters in Ottawa campaign.
Campaign brochures in different languages of your choice in the area have printed large minority populations.
If the conservative places such as Brampton-Springdale, a suburb of Toronto, Canada can win the largest city, they could be on course for a majority. But after the NDP surge, the result here is hard to predict.
The Liberal Party here seems still nervous – no one would even talk with us.
Unexpected raceNo one saw coming.
Many Canadians this choice is considered to be a straight race between the conservative and the Liberal Party, led by former academic and journalist Michael Ignatieff.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is as too inexperienced, the NDP lead Canada criticized.Together, the two parties of Canada have dominated political scene.
Despite the conservative before charges of sleaze, Mr. Harper was banking on his economic record to secure him a third term.
This time he has hoped, almost, without that qualify for the ad-hoc support of other parties to form the legislation passed as he has done since 2006.
But Mr. Harper and Mr. Ignatieff have failed with voters that is connection.
Analysts have said, Mr. Layton is seen, as with the common touch, the kind of guy, Canadians would want to have a beer with.
While it was cast as left, many seem also the NDP mix of policies, such as the drag of two sides of the political divide.
For example, it takes the position of the conservative on Canada's budget, promised balance you period of four years.
Have critics, but said his plans don't add up.
Say you would a NDP minority Government likely mean less support for the United States and a new weighting of Canada's approach to the Middle East, analysts.
It was the conservatives who take NDP threat as we with Prime Minister Harper at a rally near the city of Canada's landmark Niagara Falls caught up clearly as seriously.
The rally was settled attack on the plans of the new democratic party.
But these are only the opinion polls. This sudden increase in support could be in the secrecy of the ballot box melt.
It might be the conservative hang on to power by the Division of the Centre and left vote help.
But political observer Dennis Trudeau says: "All bets are".
So you keep a close eye on the elections on Monday. Canada could enter political Neuland.
