Ontario Election: Nominations close Sept.18

Nominations for Ontario provincial election close on September 18. Thus the candidates are given merely a week to get the paperwork done. While the three leading parties usually have nothing to worry about (since they've prepared everything in advance), it puts enormous stress on the smaller party candidates, let alone independents.

So far, there are 74 candidates running for the Family Coalition Party. That's slightly less than the Green party (85 candidates as of this morning) and almost 3 times more candidates than the Libertarian party has (Freedom and COR parties didn't post a list of candidates yet). 74 candidates - that's more than in the previous elections (let alone it's much bigger share of the province than before since there are less constituencies). Yet that's still 33 candidates short of a full slate and there's only only one week left.

Let's make it full slate this time. Attention Ontario Pro-Lifers: If you know of a possible good candidate, or if you want to run for nomination, please call: 1 888 613 2645. Thanks.
