Last year, for the Winnipeg civic election, I helped develop Winnipeg’s premier election website: WinnipegElection.ca. We were exceptionally pleased with how that turned out, so we’re doing the same thing for the Manitoba Provincial Election. So today, I’m proud to announce our launching of ManitobaElection.ca, the most trusted source of information for the upcoming 2011 Provincial Election. Many new features are in the works, but we’re launching with what we have today to get the word out.

Poignant accuracy and rapier wit rule the internet, it just takes the right minds to collate the data and present it in a hilarious form. Hats off to these guys for breaking the 5th wall and bringing a little of the internet into the hallowed halls of Big Media. I remember when I saw their first spoof on CNN; I thought to myself ‘”this is the first time I’ve seen a cartoon from the Internet make it onto the boob tube this is a great day” and I was shocked, but not as shocked as I will be if I don’t see JibJab on my local news at 6.
