I noticed today that despite the apparently fevered election campaign, here in Laurier-Dorion I have seen nothing. A few placards are up on poles, but I've received no brochures or cards or anything from any party to either outline its overall platform or promises for the riding. This riding used to be a Liberal stronghold, but Christos Sirros quit not long after his re-election in 2003 and was replaced after a close byelection by a young PQ up-and-comer named Elsie Lefebvre. Could be a close and interesting race, but where are the candidates, and what's going on? Are the parties somehow expecting to benefit from voter apathy? If so, that's a dangerous line to take.
