Actual head counts differ greatly from the claims of the parties. Conservatives claimed 15 000 at Edmonton but it was actually 1558. Liberals claimed 2 000 in Richmond but it was actually 800.

    Nit: the NDP and Bloc are major parties, they’re just not the two dominating this one race

    It is critical we don’t forget the other choices we have and fall into a two party system.

      I am actively political and have been my entire life. I go to protests, I’ve campaigned for candidates, I’ve been a member of political parties, voted in leadership contests and do so at every level of government.

      I’ve never once attended a political rally. They just strike me as creepy and weird.
