Hi folks. Please forgive the hiatus. This poor blog has grown as cold as the attitude of the government toward its people.
I've been pursuing other projects for the last little while, but it's time to get things back into gear. There's just shy of three weeks left in the federal election, and that's more than enough time to do some damage.
Naomi Klein was in Regina on Tuesday, and her talk was peppered with cries for the progressives to take this country back. One of the websites she mentioned was VotePair.ca, which pairs voters in two ridings in the hopes of making more votes count. Until we get a form of proportional representation federally, voters will be forced to jump through hoops like this.
FWIW, the NDP has lead the charge in the House of Commons for electoral reform. I know the Greens have been yapping about this for some time, but until they actually end up with some seats, the NDP remains your best hope for progressive policies in Canada.
Don't let them tell you it can't be done.

Our current voting system leaves most of us out in the cold, voting for candidates who don't get elected. Fair Vote Canada has created a home for us poor orphan voters (with cash prizes!):
