So . . . how do we fix it? What passes for the local news around here at least tried (gave an overview of every riding within their catchment area and tried to interview all the major-party candidates, although several refused, including nearly all of the Conservatives), but most people don't pay any attention to them anymore—the only reason I even saw the segments is that I live with my elderly parents, and my mother still gets her news from the TV. Signage-wise, I've seen a few large signs for the Conservative incumbent here, and a few small NDP signs. There's no guarantee of anything on the Internet reaching anyone in particular. Maybe we should be suggesting that owners of unsold billboard space offer it up in the name of civic duty? Otherwise, I'm all out of ideas.
