Who needs the Winnipeg Free Press, The Winnipeg Sun or CBC Manitoba employing major research firms such as Environics, Iposo Canada and Leger Marketing to predict who will win the Saint Boniface Riding when we the voters can do it for ourselves?
If you are a registered Saint Boniface voter and see or receive any solicitation by a candidate please contact us. We simply need to know what it was and for which party. These can include:
(1) advertising on the sides of garbage receptacles
(2) a live telephone call or voice mail from a candidate
(3) e-mail
(4) flyers, brochures or any other material promoting a candidate delivered by surface mail
(5) radio or television ads for a Saint Boniface candidate (we will not count those for national party leaders)
(6) any other form of advertising specific to a Saint Boniface candidate such as lawn signs or a knock at your door by a candidate or someone representing them
Note: each of the above initiatives, and any others not mentioned, will be worth 1-point. Therefore, 3-flyers for the same candidate equate to 3-points.
Using the latest methods in statistical analysis (T-testing, Regression Analysis, Mean Standard Error, Standard Deviation Theory - whatever), as well as, advanced calculus we will declare the projected winner on the eve of election day with a reporting error within plus or minus 3%.
So far we've seen one refuse receptacle for Shelly Glover and one for Raymond Simard, therefore, the Conservatives and Liberals are unofficially tied.
As we move deeper into the campaign we'll keep you regularly apprised of candidate point totals.
Perhaps former Prime Minister John Diefenbacker said it best, "Election polls are for dogs."
Sincerely,
Clare L Pieuk
