The presents are opened, the bird is in the oven, the Christmas dinner table is set and today Canadian voters can add one more activity to their holiday intinerary - we can vote.
Elections Canada has opened advanced voting polls for the upcoming federal election in all 308 federal ridings. Canadians will be able to cast their vote between the hours of 12 noon until 4 PM across the country today.
If one feels the need to cast your ballet today, go to http://www.elections.ca/ and enter your postal code to find your local returning officer.
Of course if Christmas Day is just too hectic, more advanced polling will be held on New Year's Day.
Even more polls will be open on January 13, 14 and 16, 2006.

That's right you read it correctly, there's a milk war going on in the HRM and unless you don't touch the stuff you would never be the wiser. But here at Halifaxlive.com we tend to keep our fingers on the pulse of the real community out there and that includes the increasingly over-priced milk consumers.
