I have decided to endorse four candidates in the current federal election. I have met each of the following, except the Raphael, whose endorsement comes because I want to endorse a Green candidate. The Greens have good post-secondary education policy, are running candidates in all 307 ridings, and have generally been crapped on by the mainstream media, despite polling above 5% among other things. If someone knows of a Green candidate who deserves more attention, drop a line in the comments and give them a plug.

Rahim is a stand up guy. Naturally I don't agree with everything he has ever said (he was a Reform and Alliance MP) but he is earnest and honest and is an important influence in his caucus. He was quick to critique his own party when it was wrong (at least to me, and there were reporters there) and is open to making the Conservatives a government for all Canadians. And let's be honest, if his party is to form government, all of Canada would want people like Rahim in that room (in the Cabinet room, even) presenting the voice of conservatives like myself when people like Rob Anders stands up to speak. Speaking of which...

Does Justin make it on this list just because he is running against Rob Anders? No. He genuinely seems like a guy who thinks my old stomping grounds deserves better representation. And he is right. Not to mention he is smart and quite knowledgable about the issues I care most about.

Mel is more than the NDP candidate on this list, she is my predecessor at my job. I worked closely enough with her last year to know she is competant and professional, and would work tirelessly for her constituents, not to mention be aggressive on PSE and related issues. Plus, I can say she didn't steal from previous employer (I know, I do the books) and that seems like a good thing in Ottawa these days.

I may update my choice here if I find a better Green candidate, but as Toby said, he is interesting and a U of C grad. Good things. And so is the Green Party policy. Very mature given the nature of the party and how little funds they have, I am very impressed and should be on this list. posted by Duncan @ 2:11 PM
