I know that people have been eagerly awaiting this announcement because this will most certainly be a pivotal election for Jamaicans both at home and abroad. The fact that the PNP is looking to continue leading after an unprecedented 18 years in power, the JLP looking to step in as well as the appointment of our first female Prime Minister will all come to the centre of this process and it will be interesting to see how these factors play a role in who Jamaicans choose as their government.

Last year we debated, among other issues, the future of our economy, the need for real action on climate change and whether or not free trade with Colombia will aggravate human rights abuses in that country.

Michael Ignatieff, the Liberal Party candidate for prime minister, said last week at a campaign appearance in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, that, if elected, he would restore governmental subsidies for ferry service across the Gulf of Maine.
