Campaign Trail

Welcome to the cbc.ca/nl campaign blog

Monday, September 10, 2007 | 06:03 AM ET

By all accounts, the campaign for the next general election in Newfoundland and Labrador is as much as a week away. But, let's face it, the campaign has been softly underway for some time.

CBC.ca/nl is launching this Campaign Trail blog to keep an eye on the election, from now through Oct. 9, when voters will go to the polls. We've also launched Newfoundland and Labrador Votes 2007, where you'll find a wealth of background material online. We'll be adding material to it regularly during the course of the campaign, including the best coverage of the election you'll find anywhere.

We'll also be posting regularly to this blog, too. Reporters will be filing from the campaign bus and the field, not just on the headline-making stories but the nuances, tidbits and analysis that make election coverage so compelling.

Keep in touch.

- John Gushue

I am a grade 5 student. Even though the oil industry is a good resource, I think we should stick with the fisheries too.My summer home is in a small fishing village. If the fish industry collapses, many citizens will be unemployed.The elected government needs to understand this.
