Of the four candidates from national parties running in the local riding, three are real estate agents and one is a university student. Only one has his own website, and surprisingly (to me, anyway) it’s not the student. Doesn’t mean anything, necessarily, I just find it interesting.
Conservative candidate John Mazzilli is the only one with his own domain, a webpage hosted on GeoCities. It includes an email address, phone number and address of his riding office.
Green candidate Stuart Smith doesn’t have a site of his own, but he has contributed one original item to a shared site for the three city-riding candidates. His page on the party website lists email and phone number, plus the office and contact info for the riding association.
NDP runner Stephen Maynard also doesn’t have a site of his own, but at least the party has a page for him which lists an email address and phone number… good, since apparently he’s had nothing to say about his candidacy.
Liberal MP Joe Fontana doesn’t appear to have a website of his own—the obvious guess, joefontana.ca, is closed
—and his Parliamentary homepage is currently down because The security policy for your network prevents your request from being allowed at this time.
The Liberal site doesn’t list a website or email address for him; they don’t even show a riding office! Fortunately the Google cache of the Ottawa site is still around, although I’d wager that very few of the people in the riding would think to use it.
