Election Update
The Greens are falling in my polls. Why?
I just visited your website as I wanted to know more about your compaign (aims and platform) and couldn't seem to find anything that related to that, at least not locally. The update links don't seem to work.
Is there any way that I can obtain information on your campaign and your goals if you are elected?
Thanks
There was a section that promised activity updates every 4 days, but when I clicked on them, there was nothing to be found. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to see what the candidate, Michael Oddy, would do specifically for this riding. I like the idea of voting for a candidate rather than a party and in order to do that I'd like to know what the candidate aims to accomplish in his/her riding.
I was a little disappointed with the response. I was basically presenting myself as an undecided voter. I was ripe for the picking. I guess they didn't see that way. I think it's strange to equate a local platform for a candidate with the respective party's national platform. It didn't leave me feeling very satisfied.
Hi Mark,
yes, we're having some trouble with our local website. Sorry about that. The place to go to find out about the Green Platform is the National site-- we are no different here. The url for that is http://www.greenparty.ca
I'm also including some info on where we will be in the next little while. The all-candidates meetings coming up would be a good place to find out more about where we stand on issues. So please see below for details.
Take care

I went to a yard sale this morning and I ended up buying a raffle ticket for 100 dollars of Canadian Tire money from MLA, Howard Epstein. The money goes toward the NDP. I couldn't resist the lure of Canadian Tire money. Who can? It's like a sovereign nation within a nation. It's enough to make Quebec green with envy.
So now the NDP's back in the race for my vote, neck in neck with refusing to vote.
