Door To Door
So I was in the shower mentally bitching about my brother and the Conservative party, when I had a little idea. Wouldn't it be nice to know exactly why people in Victoria would support the Conservatives over the Liberals, New Democrats, and Greens? This is less about changing minds and more about collecting information. I mean, I'd be willing to go door to door to houses that have Conservative lawn signs, be very friendly, ask them why they're not voting Liberal, NDP, or Green, write down their answer, and then wish them a good day. Any Victorians want to come with me? It'll be fun, fun fun fun fun fun. Below is my most recent post to canpolitik:
I don't believe this has been reported here, my apologies if it has.

Any major national political party will ensure the Canadian environment is protected -- except Stephen Harper and the Conservatives," said John Bennett, Policy Advisor to the Sierra Club of Canada on Atmosphere and Energy. "Mr. Harper represents a clear and present danger to global action to avoid catastrophic levels on climate change."
