It is very quiet here with no ads coming to the door, few signs, and no visits that I've heard of. We have a slate of six candidates - three men, three women. We get to choose between the usual three parties(with the incumbent expected to win) and Green, People's Party and the Veterans Coalition Party - never heard of that one before!

Interesting addition this year is the availability of flu shots at the same time and place.
 
The only flyer I've had in the mail was from the Conservatives. Waste of good card stock.

Some phone calls, a couple from the Liberals, who seem particularly desperate. Lots of polling phone calls. Quite a few e-mail surveys. Lots of e-mail contact from the Liberals and the Greens.

There's a LOT of signs, and a lot of controversy about where some of the Con signs are coming from, especially in rental housing (there's a lot of it in my ward as you get closer to the College). More Green signs than I've ever seen. Sign-wise, the NDP are not doing well. And the PP seems to be a non-starter here (and the candidate is not any sort of public performer).
 
We have 1 male (Conservative - incumbent) and 5 female (Liberal, NDP, Green, People's Party, Rhinoceros Party) candidates...I've seen signs for Conservatives here and People's Party - next community over.

Robo calls - that I've accidentally answered - have been from provincial politicians to encourage me to support Sheer...I think robo calls should be banned.
 
Not a lot of people knock on my door. First they see the large dog trying to lunge through the front window at them, then they are faced with the fact that there is neither bell nor knocker, and the dog is now barking furiously right behind said door, clearly intending them grievous bodily harm, and they usually give up at that point. ;)
 
Our incumbent is the second Green MP, Paul Manly. We also have a male NDP who is First Nations. The Conservative and Liberal candidates are both women. There are a couple other people running from fringe parties.

I suspect the Green MP will likely get back in.
 
We're too rural for door knocking unless the candidate really wants to get elected.

Need to come up with an editorial quickly...I "should" be writing about the upcoming election and urging people to vote but this whole campaign is so stupid I can't muster the energy to write about it.
 
Since moving to an apartment building with security doors, I'm not sop surprised they don't come knocking on the door. But no flyers or anything is a bit of a surprise. (Not that I'm complaining, mind you)
 
Only literature I received in the mail was from Elections Canada to advise me on how to make sure I'm registered - which I am as I got a voter card.
 
I got mine, too, after I went on the website to advise EC of my new address.
I did that, because in the municipal elections in Ontario a while back, I never did get a voter's card. However, I did get one for my predecessor, who had moved away some 5 years previously.
 
We have 5 candidates, all male. Conservative, Liberal, Green. NDP and People's Party. Alas, no Rhino party
 
Haven't even seen pictures of our female candidates - only know their names, nothing about them or where they are from.

There are no Libertarian or Pirate Party candidates this time
