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<\/em> the student. Doesn’t mean anything, necessarily, I just find it interesting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Conservative candidate John Mazzilli is the only one with his own domain<\/a>, a webpage hosted on GeoCities. It includes an email address, phone number and address of his riding office.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Green candidate Stuart Smith doesn’t have a site of his own, but he has contributed<\/a> one original item to a shared site<\/a> for the three city-riding candidates. His page on the party website<\/a> lists email and phone number, plus the office and contact info for the riding association.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

NDP runner Stephen Maynard also doesn’t have a site of his own, but at least the party has a page for him<\/a> which lists an email address and phone number… good, since apparently he’s had nothing to say<\/a> about his candidacy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Liberal MP Joe Fontana doesn’t appear to have a website of his own—the obvious guess, joefontana.ca<\/a>, is closed<\/q>—and his Parliamentary homepage<\/a> is currently down because The security policy for your network prevents your request from being allowed at this time.<\/q> The Liberal site<\/a> doesn’t list a website or email address for him; they don’t even show a riding office! Fortunately the Google cache<\/a> 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.<\/p><\/div>
