Thanks for setting this up jtfrogger, I've been meaning to do this for a while.
I'll throw this out there, as I've been working behind the scenes with the project (building the site and other elements, etc.) but the 1CalgaryCentre project is also a good resource for the by-election, if you're looking for information on the candidates that are running under the left of centre parties (Liberals, NDP, Greens).

We're holding polls (
http://www.1calgarycentre.com/1calgarycentre-polls/) and trying to start conversation about trying a new way to get people in Calgary engaged with Federal politics and also to help prevent voter splitting.
Just thought I'd throw it out there and I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea. But for others looking for an alternative, this might be of interest.
