It is critical for our country that leaders have a real debate on these issues — and that voters make a considered decision. That’s the driving force behind the Star’s focus on the election, holding leaders and their parties to account so that Canadians go to the polls informed. In addition, we are launching several ongoing features aimed at keeping readers informed on the latest political news. • This week, we’ll be launching The Lead, an election newsletter by veteran political reporter Kady O’Malley, which will wrap up the latest from the campaign. We intend to find out, as we fact-check each of the federal leaders, exposing to readers those who bend or break the truth.
