Anything But Conservative
A toolkit for making your vote count and removing a government that most Canadians don't want and didn't vote for
Battlegrounds: Nova Scotia
The following are my researched recommendations for who is best poised to defeat the Conservatives in the upcoming election in three Nova Scotia ridings where the Conservative party could be defeated by strategic voting. The charts show the results from the 2006 election. The 'A + B' parties' votes (Anything + But) are combined and compared to Conservative votes to demonstrate how Canadians are being governed by a party that the majority of us didn't vote for!
