Two weeks into the Federal Election Campaign, Stephen "family man" Harper's Conservatives are still leading in the polls!
This is an advance copy of the Egale Canada Federal Election Campaign "Candidate Questionnaire": during the upcoming week, we will be asking each candidate these tough questions so that on October 14th you can make an informed choice when you cast your ballot!
As the campaign hype and momentum grows, we will continue to get the message out that Stephen Harper has turned his back on our LGBT Family.
