Election heating up in Nipissing

Monday is just around the corner and we will either have a new Prime Minister or the same old one...

In Nipissing-Temiskaming with a population of just over 87,000 we are looking at five candidates they are

Fluri, Dave (New Democratic Party)
MacLean, Ross (Canadian Action Party)
McDonald, Al (Conservative Party of Canada)
Rota, Anthony (Liberal Party of Canada)
Wilcox, Les (Green Party of Canada)

The front runners are Al McDonald and Anthony Rota. Now from what I know, Al was our MPP when Harris left, he owns a local cab company, donated space to a soup kitchen and was heavily involved with our local Heritage Festival. As for Rota, he works for The Nation Research Council....that's it...and has been whining about people taking down his signs.

If you head over to baytoday.ca their section on feedback and commentary is getting to be a little far fetched. Both sides are extolling the virtures of their respecting candidates. And also a little rumors, some even pointing to slander.

Who am I voting for, I'm leaning towards NDP. I like Fluri, he can talk to you in a way that doesn't give me the feeling he's reading from cue cards. I want to see equal access to healthcare, no privatizations, some in-roads made in regards to the environment, and above all the rebalancing of the tax system; As 'official' middle-class, I'm getting screwed over everyday.

So that's it, get out and vote, if you don't you have no reason to complain.

Wallace out...
