I see the Dippers are getting really desperate now, every day lately they've emailed me asking for a $5 donation. Is the 78 day pre election campaign too much for them?

That would be very nice but unfortunately people who do invading, aren't interested in that.

81-year-old voter takes 'Defeat Harper' message to Winnipeg streets
'He is not truthful, but he is a very persuasive liar,' Doreen Routley says of Conservative leader
A Winnipeg senior is so disenchanted with the current federal government that she has taken her frustrations to the streets hoping to sway voters' opinions before going to the polls this October.
Doreen Routley, 81, used to be a staunch Conservative.
"I was a real strong supporter of the Progressive Conservatives, but when Brian Mulroney was in, that was the end of my connection with them. Next to Harper, Mulroney is an angel," said Routley.
"He is not truthful, but he is a very persuasive liar."
The senior citizen has spent her days this week walking up and down Portage Avenue in downtown Winnipeg. Dressed in green with a yellow flower in her brimmed hat on Wednesday, Routley was also sporting a billboard with big bold lettering and an emphatic political message.
"Bring back democracy: Defeat Harper," reads the front of the sign, with "Vote! But not! Conservative" on the back.
She claims her family should have known her days of protest in the streets were coming.
"I've been telling my family for two years that I was going to do it and they thought I was kidding, but I wasn't," said Routley.
"Many of the people who are voting Conservative think they're voting for the Progressive Conservatives. Well, there is no more progressives."
Another factor motivating Routley to interact with people face-to-face in downtown Winnipeg is the opportunity to meet young people and attempt to gain a sense of who they are planning to vote for.
"The youth has to get out and vote because if they did they could make a lot of changes in this country," said Routley. "I'd like them to become more informed about what's going on so that we can have more power when we see a party going off the rails."
The 81-year-old said that if her one-person demonstration only convinces one person to change their mind, then it was all worth it.
"People have to decide: are they going to save our country and vote other than Harper?" said Routley. "And then, the choice has to be whether they're going to vote for Mulcair or Trudeau."
