We here at SDW have no desire whatsoever to make this blog a forum for the October 10th provincial election or referendum, even though we have strong feelings about the whole affair. Our purpose is to focus on Windsor’s built environment and it’s affect on our culture and quality of life - so we’re going to leave it at that.

But that doesn’t mean that you have that option personally. You don’t. There are numerous provincial issues that directly relate to our municipality and local community. Raise those issues and expect concise answers from the candidates knocking at your doors or appearing at election debates. And clue yourself into what’s going on with the referendum as well. We all need to be aware of what’s on the line here.

In the meantime, I’m going to send you over to one of my favourite Canadian blogs, Toronto’s SpacingWire for you to see what’s going on in the electoral landscape. they do a good job and have an urban-centric point of view.

So, learn lots and vote often!
