Canvassing for the Cause
Parev Tzez,
I just got home from canvassing for local Member of Parliament, Jim Peterson. He is just one of the many names which the ANCC (Hai Tad) is supporting in the 2006 Canadian Federal Elections. Although it was pretty much freezing in Toronto today, it felt good supporting a politician who has always respected and valued Armenian-Canadians, and has always defended our stance regarding the Armenian Genocide…
For everyone reading who doesn’t live in Canada or doesn't know about what's happening up here, there is a federal election coming up in late January. Paul Martin, the current Prime Minister of Canada and leader of the Liberal Party, has faced great dissatisfaction over the past year regarding speculations of corruption and a sponsorship scandal. Although it is too early to tell which party will win, and whether or not we will have the same leader, it is safe to say that this year's elections have so far been the most exciting elections in Canada, up to date.

Ah, Canadian politics. I have made it a mission to try to understand the process, and this whole election thing threw me off. Some of you may know, Abraham (Apo) Niziblian, brother of Raffi on the Repat page, is running as the Bloc Quebecois candidate in Montreal for the Parliament seat of wherever he lives. The uncertainty of when the elections will take place throws me off completely. But Rupen, please keep us in the loop... I love any country that actually has 4 parties represented in the government. I seem to be living in a 1.5 party system.
Haha...Yes, Apo is running in Montreal. I’ve known Apo for a while now (he was actually one of my AYF seminar leaders back in the day) and love the man to death, but I greatly disagree with his political stance...I still hope he wins though, as he will be a good contributor to the cause! Canadian politics is much more interesting than American politics, yes! I still cannot understand how your president got re-elected and is still in power...(I think that was the reason
