"Game On" in Canada

Guy Aitchison (Bristol, OK): 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 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."
