At Friday's roundtable, the participants concluded the session with an unanimous agreement to do their part.

Our goal is to sell you a bobblehead of your favourite leading politician. Maybe even the entire set and...hopefully along the way...entertain you in the process with clever stories, cartoons and animations with the folks who would be king of Canada. Now, when somebody decides to get pushy and force or call an election, we will bust open doors and fire up the Electorial Shopping Cart, (it's been open for some time already), and begin posting our daily federal and provincial polls on this very web site. Each day we will post the latest polls based on bobblehead sales across the country and displayed in snappy, eyecatching, piechart fashion as shown below. So the higher the sales a particular leaders bobblehead has, the more support he/she and the party has in that province and that support figures into the federal portion of the poll.
