That would be great if the majority of us voted.

Unfortunately most  people in poverty chose not to vote. Politicians tend to
work with areas of their riding where they  perceive that  people are voting
and  can possibly be persuaded to vote for them.
  The best thing for us to do right now is to  quiz the local politicians on
what they will do to address our concerns  and how they will work to
persuade  their counterparts in  the provincial and Federal elections to
effect change  on our behalf.

Then  spread the word to vote for those that can be our allies.


I already know who I  want as Ottawa's Mayor. I have been busy but will be
checking  who the candidates are for  my new  ward as I moved in March. I
will continue to pester the incumbent in my old ward as I feel Mme Meilleur
picked a whiny brat to replace herself when she moved to provincial
politics. Even if he realizes hat I am no longer voting in his ward I
still   do much of  my volunteer work and advocacy  there.
