It's On!! Election 2008 on October 14

Stephen Harper has finally made it official: Canadians will go to the polls on October 14.

All the parties are launching their campaigns today. Dion is about to launch the Liberal campaign at a rally in Ottawa at 5pm and spoke earlier today from inside the Parliament buildings. Harper launched the Conservative campaign completely in French at a rally in Quebec City. Layton focused his attacks on the Harper government with the Parliament buildings in Ottawa as the backdrop. Elizabeth May continued to pound away on the inclusion of the Green party in the debates and was in Guelph today. Gilles Duceppe attacked Harper's conservative ideology today amid what is shaping up to be a disastrous campaign for the Bloc.

The NDP launched their first ad of the campaign on Harper's suppossed "strong leadership".
