Since Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the election on Aug. 2, 2015, the party leaders have criss-crossed the country to shake hands, kiss babies and try to win votes in what promises to be a tight race to the finish. Over the course of the 11-week federal election campaign, we’ll be tracking the campaign stops of Harper, Thomas Mulcair, Justin Trudeau and Elizabeth May (Gilles Duceppe’s Bloc Québécois has been omitted since they do not run nation-wide).

Each of the leaders has spent consider time in the Southern Ontario region, campaigning hard across the GTA as well as smaller cities such as Waterloo, a riding considered to be a bell-weather for the rest of the country.

On the other side of the country, the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island have also seen a higher number of visits, especially from Green Party Leader Elizabeth May. Though she’s visited Northern Ontario, PEI and Quebec, the bulk of her campaigning has been in the riding that voted her into Parliament in 2011, Saanich—Gulf Islands.
