Susan Joanis Suggestion

Dear Catch 22 team,



One suggestion I would make next time is to have a way for people to actually reach someone and communicate with them about how they can help.  I spent a lot of time going through the website, trying in vain to find a phone number or email address so I could talk to an actual person and find out how I could help in some way.  I live in a safe riding (Olivia Chow's), but I was prepared to canvass or make phone calls or…

Catch 22 Catch 22's first look at the election...

This is a high level summary of campaign results in ridings identified by the Catch 22 campaign. Over the coming weekend, we'll publish an editorial. Then in a few weeks we'll put out a more detailed look at our campaign - strengths and weaknesses, what worked and what didn't etc. Once that is done, the campaign will be wrapped up.

Obviously, we did not get the overall results we were looking for. With less than a 2% increase in the popular vote, Harper was successful at boosting his…

Patricia Frances Brown continuing post election

I am a lucky person this morning, we elected Elizabeth May in our riding.  However, I believe the huge work has just begun.  I sure hope the people who have worked on the Catch 22 campaign, and those who were all signed on, will continue to work to remove the despot at the top.

Catch 22 Help your local Catch 22 campaign "pull the vote" on Monday

While I've never run for public office, I have run for several union positions over the past 25 years. Having both won and lost elections by just a single vote, I can tell you how important every last vote can be. In the case where I lost, it was because of a mistake made by my scrutineer (yes, we're still friends).

We have to treat tomorrow's election as if every single vote could be the deciding vote between a minority and a phony majority…

myna lee johnstone pairvote

I have voted Green in the SGI, I am an NDP member so someone could vote stratecially in another riding where NDP needs to win.

With pairvote they say you must NOT have voted in the advance poll

Here, I think we can just agree on our own terms and confirm the trade.

If a Lib could win, then ok too but prefer NDP

Sylvie Doire question re:

Could you tell me what the optimum results could be obtained.  I would like to know what would be the Parties balance if the vote you recommand + those that already have good chances to be elected are all elected. I understand that your answer would not be a commitment but only an hypothesis.  Thank you for working on this important issue of defeating conservative party. 

Merci beaucoup de votre super travail!

T. A. Anderson What Harper is doing

Harper has seen, in poll after poll, election after election, that after half a decade the majority 60-something% Canadians still oppose him.



But he wants to impose significant changes upon Canadians that he clearly knows that the majority of us do not want.



So what does he do? He turns to the remaining minority 30-something% and blatantly asks that minority to give him majority power over…

Jacob Political Ice Cream

We'll see if this shows up in the Globe.

 

If the major political parties were ice cream:

 

The Liberals would be vanilla. A really great vanilla ice cream is powerfully flavoured with a subtle sophistication and appeals to a very wide audience. On the other hand a crappy vanilla ice cream tastes a lot like rubber and is only in people’s freezers because they think it is supposed to be there. Vanilla takes on other flavours really well and many exciting and…

E. McCoubrey Peter Zavitz, you are right on for West Nova

Totally agree that we, in West Nova, needs to go Liberal.   Vote split is a real issue nation wide.  The 60% of us that want Harper out need to be very careful where we put our votes.  Harper's latest quest for Liberal voters is so hypocritical, it takes your breath away.

Catch 22 Voting Your Heart May Hand Harper his Majority

Unlike the Toronto Star,* the Catch 22 Campaign still thinks it necessary to vote Liberal in those ridings where a Liberal is the obvious choice to defeat a Harper Conservative.



*Edited to add: The Toronto Star is now recommending strategic voting for the Liberals in certain… Continue
