**Guy Aitchison (Bristol,** [**OK**](http://ourkingdom.opendemocracy.net/?ref=opendemocracy.net)**):** The Canadian province of Ontario is gearing up for a vigorous, hard-fought political campaign ahead of a referendum on electoral reform on October 10\. Ontarians are being asked to vote on recommendations made by a Citizens' Assembly to replace first-past-the-post with a mixed member proportional (MMP) system. This [article](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070729.wwcomment0729/BNStory/Front/home?ref=opendemocracy.net) in the globeandmail, a Candian national daily, has some humorous discussion of how the campaign is likely to play out, finishing with the call for a fair but lively ice hockey-style battle of ideas: "So keep your nose clean and your stick on the ice. Game on."
