2011 Canadian Election, Winner of Blue Jane's Collection, and a Giveaway by Butterfly June!

(I'm thanking our good friend, Lisa, for giving me the brain-power for today's Friday Finds!)

 My finds this week are of a different nature. Sure, they're websites, but not just any websites.  On May 2, Canadians will vote in a national election. I'm sharing the websites for various polical parties in Canada.

I implore you to take advantage of our right to vote for our democratic government. The voter turnout in our last election in 2008 was the lowest in history (58.8%), aside from the election in 1898 (44.6%) - yep - you read that right - since 1898! *insert jaw-drop here* 

Words to Live By

There are many words that I try to live by.  It's not easy, but I think it is worth it, when it can be done.  These are the words that I strive to live by (in no particular order):

The Winner of Chad LaFarge's Fabulous Book and ANOTHER Amazing Give-Away!

I know I keep saying this, but I really love our website and how we are able to work with and support so many incredibly talented people out there! It feels so good to help others and to give back, in our own small way, each and every week.

Last Friday we reviewed an excellent tech book called What you Need NOW for Search Engine Optimization, by the self published author Chad LaFarge. I've been all over the internet raving about this book, and not because we had a copy to give away this week, but because I think it is truly the best book I have read on SEO and how to have the best website possible. It is when I read through the book and *loved* it that I gushed and gushed to Heather about it and we decided this was too good to keep to ourselves and that we had to share this with our readers (many of whom have their own websites and blogs) and what a better way to do that than with a give away?! :D

So are you all wanting to know who the winners are?
