Anyone-but-Harper crowd goes after GTA votes
Edited on Wed Apr-27-11 07:00 PM by CHIMO
The greeting widens tired eyes outside the Lawrence West subway station in the middle of a rainy weekday morning commute.

“Hi, we’re trying to stop Stephen Harper,” says a cheery middle-aged man wearing a rain jacket and a yellow “Vote for democracy — not Harper” T-shirt.

Armed with a handful of soggy pamphlets flapping in the wind, Nick Fillmore, of the Catch 22 campaign, is trying to convince centre-left voters to help thwart the Harper government’s quest for a majority by voting strategically against the Conservative Party.

“I plan on it, don’t worry,” says one man on his way into the station.
