The General Election, October 14, 2008
Most questions you have about the upcoming election can be answered at the Elections Canada website. From here you can find a list of MPs (alphabetical, by postal code, by riding), view a list of registered political parties and their financial reports, and get answers to questions about registering to vote, about identification required for voting (available in 27 languages as well as English), about getting time off work for voting, about employment during the election. The list is extensive - it even includes an answer to the question "Is someone allowed to eat a ballot?"
