Update: Snazzy new poll no longer exists. It died along with the old Echo comment system. A vote for mandatory voting I’m not sure how I feel about this idea. I’d love it if everybody voted, but forcing people to exercise their rights in a free country kind of flies in the face of the …

Finally Some Clean Politics
Clean cars reflect election outcome? One local businessman says he’s got a better way to predict the outcome of the presidential election: Ask his customers. “My wife and I were talking about the election with our kids and polling came up, how it can be skewed based on the way they phrase the question to …
Welcome To 2006
Well, that whole thing right there was pretty pointless I’d say. Let’s take a look at what happened. Stephen Harper and the Conservatives won a minority government, just like last time. It’s a slightly stronger one, but a minority is still a minority. The Liberals have a leader in Stéphane Dion who whether he’s admitting …

Dear Editor – I note something distressing about the timing of the televised federal election debate of Guelph candidates. The date is next Tuesday, Oct. …
Conservative Crazies
Wow, we have some serious wackjobs at work. Apparently, over the weekend, people in Toronto who had liberal signs up on their lawns had their houses sprayed, their brakes tampered with, and their phone and cable lines cut! It wasn’t just a few. It’s happened all over the city, and apparently, it happened in Guelph …
Get To Know Your Candidates…A Day Late
Carin just brought to my attention a boneheaded bit of election scheduling. I sent her a quick note to let her know that our local all candidates debatewill be on Rogers Television Tuesday October 7th at 7 PM.She’s got a better memory than I do and she kind of serves as my pocket organizer, so …
