I volunteered with the PC candidate in my riding back in 1999. It was an asignment for my OAC politics class, but I enjoyed my experience.
I did a little bit of Canvassing and a little bit of phone work. I even monitored at a polling station (I had to check off peoples names off a list as they came into vote and I was there to ensure that the ballots were counted properly).
I rememer going to one house where the told me that they would be supporting my candidate but because so many teachers lived in their area that they were unable to put up a sign because they were afraind of upsetting the neighbours (big NDP street).
I also had one guy try to pick me up when I called him asking for his support. I had a few people yell at me, severl people hung up on me. But hey, it's their karma, not mine. Overall it was a good experience and if I had time I would do it again.
