There is a lot of people phone canvassing SGI, and we're making a lot of calls!  Since I started calling (at the beginning of last week) the number of calls needed to break into the top callers list has tripled.  We are identifying voters hand over fist.

I am a Maple Leafs fan and I support the Green party which would indicate I'm probably not a competitive person.  But I am, which is why perhaps my favorite feature of GRIMES (theGPC's great canvassing and GOTV management tool) is the Top Callers list.

This list highlights the phone canvassers who have called the most voters.  It's great, it makes for some friendly competition and turns phone canvassing into something of a game. It's fun to chase the top callers, moving out of the pack of people who have canvassed for a couple hours.

Last night I finished phone canvassing my first poll in Saanich.  I have done a lot of phone canvassing for the party over the past few years.  Most notably in Guelph and in Central Nova but the attitude of voters I have been calling inSaanich has been different.
