Political junkies....
... will want to regularly check the
Election Prediction Project, which has a great track record when it comes to federal election prognostication. As of now, it's suggesting the Liberals will get 82 seats to the Tories' 75, with 84 ridings too close to call. Yikes.
EPP was created by the very out and proud
Milton Chan, whose personal website notes: "CBC National once noted, 'Milton Chan's stomping ground is Toronto's gay village,' and that was more than just assessment on my partying routine. I have been volunteering for gay youth and student organizations since I came out in Vancouver at the age of 17." And also: "Surprising to many people, I actually attend Catholic mass every week, though that has never stopped me from demanding accountability and church reform. I took on a leadership role in organizing the Alternative World Youth Day in 2002, and am active in women ordination, lay people participation, and pro-choice initiatives."
I presume Chan's new gig, as Young Liberals of Canada vice president policy, won't mean the election project info gets skewed -- he's been a Grit for a while, and the results for the last federal poll were 88 percent bang on, regardless of his political leanings.
