Anything But Conservative

The following are my researched recommendations for who is best poised to defeat the Conservatives in the upcoming election in twenty-nine Ontario 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!

See the Vote Swapping Links to learn how to defeat Harper while still supporting your party of choice. 

Note: if you don't know the name of your electoral district (aka riding), then follow this link to the Elections Canada website: http://www.elections.ca/home.asp
