Election

I'm pretty sure I know who I'm voting for in the provicial election, but does anyone know of a website that lists all the running candidates for a particular riding?

For my riding

Aha! I found Elections Ontario

The big parties:

Margo Duncan, NDP

Steven Snell, PC

Gerard Kennedy, Liberal

Other Parties:

Neil Spiegel,Green Party

Stan Grzywna, Family Coalition (The Family Coalition used to be a one-issue pro-life party, but now they've branched out to include opposing gay marriage and repealing the divorce act. I am not kidding.)

The Libertarian party has no candidate in my riding.

Dick Field, Freedom Party of Ontario (who are essentially a party that hived off from the Libertarians)

Karin Larsen, Communist Party of Ontario

The Humanist Party has no candidate in my riding.

I'd never heard of the Ontario Provincial Confederation of Regions party, but it looks like it favours moving power to small, local governments and conservation of historical sites. They have no candidate in my riding.

There is no Reform Party of Ontario candidate in my riding. Thank God. Actually, it looks like they might have registered for the election at one time, but they aren't running any candidates. See Elections Ontario

One independent, John Steele, is running in my riding. As far as I can discern, he's an environmentalist, and may be a contributor to the Militant, a Socialist newspaper.

Reform made a deal with the Provinical P.C.'s that Reform would stay out of provincial politics and the Provincial P.C.'s wouldn't get express a preference for P.C. over CCRAP during federal elections.

I saw one of their signs today for the first time -- I thought it was PC at first, because it was dark blue.

Mind you, PCs are almost as rare around here...
