Election update

So far, there is not a single wedge issue that is driving this election.

If nothing changes, we'll go to the ballot box having been fed a series of soap operas by the national media - airplane troubles for the Liberals, May-day on the debates, war room gaffes by the Tories, and climb-downs by Layton and Duceppe.

I figure this means that the ground campaigns will matter more than ever and that the day to day interactions in local ridings will shape how the swing voters and the undecideds (still at almost 20%!) will cross their ballot. Check out the Nanos polling to see how variances across the country.

I have seen documentation indicating obesity as a direct relation to non-activity but how about demonstrating that an investment in sport equals and investment in the bottom line.

Are there countries that have demonstrated the direct relation between sport participation and increased productivity?
