Swing Ridings
Do you live in a swing riding?
There are 65 "swing ridings" in Canada, ridings where the race between the Conservative and a non-Conservative candidate are extremely close. Voters in these ridings have the capacity to dramatically shift the outcome of the election by being strategic about who they vote for.
To find out if you live in a swing riding, you can go to VoteForEnvironment.ca and enter your postal code in the handy box on the side.
I would, however, like to comment on what the website will say if you live in a riding considered "safe" for a non-Conservative candidate. Just because it was "safe" previously, don't assume it's still safe. That non-Conservative incumbent still needs to be voted back into office on October 14. Remember, every single vote counts.
