TORONTO, Ontario, Canada -- With a Canadian Federal election campaign now underway, helping Canadians make an informed political choice is the objective of two of the country's leading news industry suppliers. CCNMatthews and Canada's Business Network (CBN) have launched Electionfocus.ca, a not-for-profit web site containing the most comprehensive compilation of election information available.
Electionfocus.ca contains links to every major political party, Canada's top news providers and daily audio content from top news/talk radio stations across Canada. Electionfocus.ca will also deliver election news from The Canadian Press (CP) and the site will post news releases from each of Canada's major federal parties . The content rich site provides a single-stop location for anyone wanting to stay on top of developments in the Canadian election.
"CCNMatthews is an expert in news distribution and providing information to voters in Canada has never been done in a simple way," said Michael Nowlan, CEO of CCNMatthews. "With the fact that Canada is leading the world with its percentage of households online, we believe the internet is the perfect vehicle to deliver this wealth of content - hosted all in one place"
Electionfocus.ca will also carry exclusive election commentary from CBN. Former Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps will go behind the scenes of the election while delivering non-party-specific, play-by-play commentary. Fred Ketchen, the country's most high-profile market commentator, will uncover stories on how "Bay Street" is viewing the election. The commentary from Sheila Copps and Fred Ketchen is also being syndicated by CBN to Canada's top news/talk radio stations.
