It's Election Day and as most people see it, you have your choice between these four guys. In truth, that's not really the case. When you go to the poll, you are of course voting for someone to act as your representative in Parliament. As such, do make sure to know who you're really voting for. Certainly each of the parties' platforms should factor into your decision, but you should also be sure to vote for a candidate that is in fact competent, and will provide you and your neighbours with good representation in Ottawa.

Despite her efforts, both through the media and the courts, May's voice as leader of the Green Party was silenced.
