with our Candidates
Vote! Do your duty!
O
our candidates and their parties are running on. We hope you have had the time to review the many stories we have published, read the many ads that all the candidates have run, maybe attended an all-candidates meeting, or at least had a debate or two around the water cooler or dining table.
n Monday, Oct. 21 we, collectively will elect a new federal government to provide oversight and leadership for our country for the next 4 years! This is no small opportunity. If it feels like an obligation, well that’s because it is. Mark your calendar now and don’t let anything else stand in the way of doing your duty. It needs to be your priority that day!
We here at the News feel that obligation too. Not only are we personally obliged to do that most important duty, VOTE, but we also feel the obligation to inform, educate and challenge you all to fulfill your obligation.
We here at the North Shore News have worked really hard over the past 10 weeks to make sure that all of our readers have been informed of the issues and the positions that
Whether this is your first election or one in a lifelong string, take the time to familiarize yourself not only with the party platforms, but very importantly, get to know the people
that are offering to be your Member of Parliament. Do they take time to listen? Are they capable advocators? Do they have personal views and attributes that you want representing us for the next four years? Your MP will be your conduit to our government -- they will represent us, their constituents, on major issues that may affect our lives for generations to come. Vote for the party platform that resonates with you and vote for a person that you respect and share your values and morals. Today we are proud to publish our {connect} special section featuring some of the candidates vying for election in our three North Shore ridings. We hope you find it a great read and one that informs your final decision as to who you want representing your area in Ottawa for up to four years. All the candidates are worthy of your full
consideration. They have worked really hard for many years to prepare themselves for this time. It is show time, NOW. The only thing missing is you. Do your thing! Inform, question, debate and then head to the polls. Without your simple act of voting, the whole democratic system is in jeopardy. The next government and MP for your area want a clear mandate. They want to represent all of us, not a majority of a minority. Give them what they deserve -- a strong turnout that clearly gives a mandate to the candidate that wins. It is critically important. Enjoy the read and then do your duty… VOTE!
