Flyering with our get out the vote piece is finally done, but for a couple hundred here and there that people will finish today. We sent out about 22,000, each specific to the neighbourhood with reflections on the main issue heard on the doors and specific information about where to vote tomorrow.

With this done, that leaves about 15 volunteers on deck today for pure door knocking. They’ll be here in two hours for a big ol’ farm-style breakfast, and then we’ll hit the doors hard until the sun goes down.

I’m sure we knocked on more than 500 yesterday, and response was amazing in all six neighbourhoods we visited on our whirlwind tour. We put out a lot of signs.

Our goal is to knock on 1,000 doors today. I’ll report back later tonight, and reflect on some of the high and low points of knocking on doors since May.

To employ a sports metaphor, it’s time to “leave it all on the field.”

As of tonight, I’ve connected meaningfully with voters in every poll in Ward 5, which was a goal of mine from early in the campaign.

My other goal was to knock on 10,000 doors, though I’m not sure if I’ve accomplished that since we lost track late in the summer. I think we’re close, but likely not quite. The volunteers have done at least as many as me though, so we’ve got to be past 15,000 doors altogether.

And, though we’ve had some serious issues with Canada Post, we’ve endeavoured to touch each household with at least one piece of literature, more than half with two, and a fifth with three pieces.

Almost everything has exceeded our own expectations—which were high to begin with.

Now simply to knock a couple thousand more doors this weekend and attempt to seal the deal.
