OTTAWA, Oct. 25, 2000 – PoliticsWatch.com - Canada's Political Portal™ made Canadian Internet history today in launching the PoliticsWatch "PM Picker" Vote Selector Quiz.

The interactive ‘PM Picker’ Vote Selector Quiz offers Canadian voters an opportunity to compare their policy preferences against the positions of Canada’s political leaders and parties. Users answer 15 questions on hot campaign issues ranging from taxes to abortion, and the Vote Selector Quiz then ranks how each federal leader and his or her political party reflect the user’s views.

The Vote Selector Quiz is interactive, entertaining and politically informative. Check out the ‘PM picker’ at:
