First, Prime Minister Stephen Harper threatened to hold a general election - and despite many rejecting his reasoning of 'parliament is dysfunctional,' it happened anyway.
Federal election '08 was called September 7, Sunday morning at 9am.
There was a lot of hype about Elizabeth being in the debates, with Blair Wilson declaring himself a Green, the Green Party was officially in parliament.
Unfortunately, the Conservatives, NDP, & Bloc convinced the media consortium (Old Boys club who decides who will participate) that the Greens should not be included. So they weren't.
Fortunately, the public response was huge. In just one day, over 10,000 Canadians voiced their outrage, demanding Elizabeth be allowed into the debates. And she was.
So that leaves us full swing into a general election, with the threat of a Harper minority or even majority looming. But all is not lost.
Facebook groups like 'Anti-Harper Vote Swap' are connecting Canadians who understand no matter what party you traditionally vote, there are a number of key ridings that need to go Liberal.
