6 Websites To Find Canadian Election Information

Well today is a bog day for Canadian politics. We are going through an election as our American counterparts will be doing in the coming weeks. Today we are voting to elect a party and Prime Minister from one of 5 major parties, The Conservatives, The Liberals, The NDP (New Democrats), The Bloc (Quebec only party) and The Green Party. It really looks like a race between The Conservatives and The Liberals at this point with The Conservatives currently the party in power (minor holding).

I have taken a moment to put together a list of 6 resources for you to find information regarding the election and track the results.
