Election season in North America
Two sites that might help you decide how to vote in the upcoming Canadian election:
- How’d They Vote?: Want to know what your incumbent MP has been doing in Ottawa? This site will tell you what bills they have proposed, how they’ve voted, and what they’ve said in Parliament. Find out what your MP actually does.
- Vote for Environment: This site lets you know how you should vote in your riding so that the most enviromentally-friendly candidate (who has a chance in your riding) wins. To put it bluntly, if you like the environment then you probably don’t like the Conservatives, and this site will help you figure out how to make sure that a split vote doesn’t let them slip in (again).
You should try to figure out what your priorities are, and vote based on those. Myself, I’ve narrowed it to two: the environment and Darfur. It’s too bad that the media hasn’t made either of them more of an issue.
