The budget better be a good one. Canada lost 34,400 jobs in December and 70,600 jobs in November. Now, January’s report indicates that Canada has lost 129,000 more jobs. Again, the manufacturing sector was hit hard primarily in Ontario, with BC and Quebec also taking a significant loss. I hope Prime Minister Stephen Harper will begin to take this situation seriously.
Last month, Harper said that while our job losses are “troubling,” the US is far worse off. It’s time for him to stop looking to the US and to take action to fix Canada’s economy.

Welcome to InformedVote.ca
Hello and welcome to InformedVote.ca. My name is Daniel Levine. I am, along with Tamir Birk and Michael Sheps, co-founder of InformedVote.ca.
We launched InformedVote in October 2008, shortly before the Canadian Federal Election. We started simply as a means to share research we had compiled on each major Canadian political party and their views on major election issues. When we posted the information online, we were both surprised and elated to see thousands of page views and the praise of many Canadians in just a few days.
This was the moment InformedVote was truly born.
Our primary goal is to provide unbiased, non-partisan, accurate and timely information regarding major elections in Canada. We want to make sure every Canadian is fully informed when they go to the ballot box to perform their civic duty. As average citizens, we run this website for ourselves, just as much as we do for our readers.
When we’re not preparing comprehensive comparative information we’ll be blogging about political issues, specifically those which concern Canadians.
With a group of writers representing a large spectrum of political ideology, we hope to spawn discussion and debate with the ultimate goal of increasing all of our knowledge on a multitude of political subjects.
We’ll do our best to be the most accurate, most interesting and most informed Canadian political destination anywhere.
We’d love to hear your thoughts. Let us know if you disagree, find an error, want to tell us you love us, or maybe even write your own blog. Go ahead and contact us.
Thanks for reading, we hope you enjoy.
Daniel Levine, co-Founder
and the rest of the InformedVote.ca team!
