It's a big political day today...
- It's the candidate nomination deadline for municipal election candidates in Alberta. After 12 noon, Albertans will know who they will be able to vote for in the October 15 Municipal Elections. I already know who I am voting for in Ward 5.
- Don Koziak has thrown his hat in the ring for Mayor. Koziak's last minute run against current Mayor Stephen Mandel should be an interesting one...
- Today is by-election day in Quebec. With three by-elections set for today, it should be interesting to see which way the political climate in La Belle Provence is shifting.
I was in Outremont back in August and if the amount of signs mean anything, it's Robert Mulcair's to lose. That said, a Mulcair win in Outremont sends a strong signal towards the Harper Tories and Dion Liberals about their growth potential on the vote rich island of Montreal.

Thomas dude...
I hope Mr. Mulcair wins. It would be great if Quebec's socialist voters returned to a federalist fold. For too long they have voted BQ and held the left back on the federal scene. A strong NDP presence in Quebec will help to ensure Harper never gets a majority government, and it will mean a new balance for Ottawa.
I dunno. I saw a TON of Mulcair signs in Outremont a few weeks ago, but 99% of them were not on private property. Tough to gauge whether he's got real support or just some great volunteers.
Yeah. Thomas.
