Election Coverage and Polling
By Boris Mann on June 3, 2004 - 10:55pm
The poll on which party people will be voting for has been archived in our polls section (and is part of our 2004 election special report).
The poll is still open (we will generally run polls for 1 - 2 weeks), so feel free to go and cast your vote — it will remain open until June 9th.
I debated posting a poll asking what the next poll will be. Feel free to leave a comment on this article suggesting something, or post to the poll suggestions forum.
Someone posted the following Ted White from Ted White on the Election Prediction Project's website. "At least 40 per cent of all the Iranians living there (North Vancouver) are refugee claimants".
Another poster said the comment was "racist" and now this.

"Mr. Ted White has threatened legal action against Election Prediction Project for publishing submissions that asserted certain opinion on Mr. White’s comment on the Iranian Community. While we disagree with Mr. White’s (and his lawyer’s) point that those comment constitute defamation, as a volunteer-run project, we are in no position to fight a legal case. Thus, upon consideration, we hava decided to comply to Mr. White demand, and hereby APOLOGIZE, and remove all those submissions. We would state without reservation that Election Prediction Project does not have or care to have a position regarding whether Mr. White is a racist.
We would like to publish the following excerpt from Hansard of the House of Commons.
March 31, 2003 - Mr. Ted White (North Vancouver, Canadian Alliance):
"My riding has the largest Iranian population in the country. At least 40% of all the Iranians living there are refugee claimants. Most of them are bogus."
"They see all these, and I am sorry to use the word, scumbags who come in using our refugee laws and claiming refugee status just so they can be criminals here."
