Early Update

I went to check the mail.  What does this have to do with the election, you ask?  What I found in the mailbox was the first campaign pamphlet I had received since I’ve been back.  This basically re-affirms the fact that this is “Con Country” and the non-Conservative candidates basically have no hope and hardly spend any time campaigning.

What’s interesting is that this pamphlet, besides outlining the NDP platform, says “Why the Liberals don’t deserve your vote this time.”  He we are in a riding dominated by the Conservative party, and Jack Layton (the leader of the NDP) is saying why we shouldn’t vote for a party that has no chance of winning anyway.

In small, hardly noticeable print, it does say that Stephen Harper is wrong, bla bla bla.  Seems like poorly planned campaigning if you ask me.
