Carol C. - Yes, there is another candidate. His name is Jack Laytton and he is running for the NDP (primarily a labour party). In the west, NDP has a chance but not across the country. The best we can hope for is a strong opposition.

Metchosin is right. Its a choice between Nortel and Enron with a little heckling in the background. The worst thing that could happen would be Stephen Harper as P.M. That means alot of people will vote for Martin just to keep Harper out. Its really scary when you realize that Canada is in the same boat as America when it comes to election choices.
