Election Day coming up. How will you vote?

TORONTO – I voted in the advance polls. Like many readers of the Corriere Canadese, I have been taken aback by the riding profiles offered daily by Priscilla Pajdo in our pages. No other publication has been providing their readers with as extensive and detailed a picture of any constituency as her pieces have. She has focused on districts where 9% or more of the population are of Italian origin.

A fornirci il cambiamento dei rapporti di forza in questa corsa al voto federale è l’istantanea scattata dagli ultimi sondaggi che mette in luce come tra il Partito Liberale e il Partito Conservatore continui ad esserci un serrato testa a testa sul quale, però, pesa enormemente quanto sta avvenendo a destra e a sinistra nell’arco partitico canadese… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
