2004 News
There are a variety of ways to keep up
to date on events during the election campaign. Most useful are the
national election sites run by large media corporations. But for
regional developments, it is best to connect to the local news media sites
across the country. Links to a selection of interesting
election news stories are also available on this page.
Leaders Debate
If you missed the leaders' debate on TV, you can still watch highlights of it
courtesy of CTV News.
A poll conducted by Ispos
found that Stephen Harper was thought to have won the debate while Paul Martin was the viewers' favourite as potential prime minister.
But note that the respondents to this poll had to fill in their responses on the
Internet - which means that the sample cannot be fully reflective of the whole
electorate.
