		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re down to the last two days before Election Day. When the writ dropped, no one expected the polls to be sitting where they are now. The polls do differ some on where the various levels of support sit and who is up and who is down from the last poll (yesterday in most cases) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The big story of the day is the continuing rise of the NDP in the public opinion polls. If those polls hold through until people actually put their Xs on the ballot on Monday, we could be seeing an unprecedented change in the makeup of Canadian politics. While the focus tends to be on the [...]]]></description>

I like to explore behind the usual headlines, often picking up articles which are put out on twitter. I tend to follow a broad range of people [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; The polls the last few days are showing the the NDP moving upward, the Liberals sliding some and the Conservatives more or less staying the same. Now, that presents an interesting scenario. The NDP has done this before, appeared to be on an upward swing in the polls and then Canadians apparently came to their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Okay, Harper has been traipsing around the country telling everyone he meets that he has to have a majority government or the sky will fall, or something.  A recent poll indicates that the majority of Canadians are still not comfortable with the idea of Harper getting a majority. We Canadians can be a lot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Finally, I&#8217;m hearing what has been frustrating me. Throughout this campaign I&#8217;ve been astounded that more and more Canadians are not becoming aware of just how badly we need to restore democracy in this country. I&#8217;ve wondered how so many can be presented with the evidence of Harper&#8217;s contempt for our system and just [...]]]></description>

The leaders of the various parties are busy crisscrossing the country telling us what they are going to do. Like we actually will believe everything they say. The challenge is to cut through the rhetoric to find the truth. The truth of [...]]]></description>
