First Nations and the 2008 Federal Election: "We can actually influence the outcome...but only if we participate”

The federal election is well-underway and voters will be going to the polls on October 14.

Are you going to vote? Why, or why not? What are the key issues for you in this election?

The Assembly of First Nations will be launching a special Federal Election 2008 webpage on the AFN website. We'll post the link once it's ready to roll. It'll be chock-full of elections information including voting info, analysis of party platforms, a full list of Aboriginal candidates and lots of other goodies.

In the meantime, here's an article from today's Globe and Mail you may may want to checkout: Native issues casualties of Afghan spending, chief says
