Elvis Aaron Presley is vying for a seat in the Yukon legislature in the small territory's election today.

The real Elvis Presley you wonder?

Well, it's his legal name and if you ask him, he'll insist he's the real deal.

Presley, who is running as an independent in the electoral riding of Pelly-Nisutlin, was born and raised Gilbert Nelles, but changed his name after being hit by what he describes as a 'UFO's beam' that told him he was the reincarnation of 'the King'.

Presley, 54, a self-described artist, is known as one of Yukon's most colourful characters.

He's performed in Las Vegas with Chubby Checker, and recently appeared on CBC's Dragons' Den where he offered investors a share of everything that's connected to him including his artwork, merchandise and music for $58,000.

He's also no stranger to politics.

In 2005, he ran for the leadership of the Yukon Liberal Party, placing fourth with only five votes.

In the 2006 Yukon general election he ran as an independent, with a focus

Alberta Premier Alison RedfordThe National Post reported a group calling itself Transformation Calgary is pushing an idea it calls the "Penny Tax."

The plan would allow the City of Calgary to tack on a one per cent local sales tax to any purchase already subject to the federal GST to pay for new arts and cultural projects.

"The idea is backed by the regional think-tank, the Canada West Foundation, which calls it a 'fresh, creative and innovative policy response' to supposedly unmet infrastructure needs. Calgary Flames CEO Ken King praised it as a 'made-in-Calgary solution' and oil patch doyen, Jim Gray, called it 'visionary'," wrote the Post's Kevin Libin.

The penny tax idea may have received a boost from the election of Alison Redford, who was sworn in as premier Friday.

During her campaign, Redford championed the idea of giving cities in the province the right to raise revenues by methods outside the traditional means of property taxes and user fees.

But new taxes never go over very well - something the new

Voter turnout in Thursday's provincial election is expected to be the worst in Ontario's history.

Early projections peg voter participation between 45 and 49 per cent compared to 52.8 per cent in the 2007 election.

With so much at stake with a fragile economy and an election that was clearly up for grabs, why did the majority of Ontarians vote with their butts and stay home?

There are several theories regarding voter apathy:

Negative ads

Many believe negative ads create voter apathy. For many months, even before the official start of the campaign, both the Tories and Liberals took turns firing attack ads against each other.

In a 2010 article in Maclean's Magazine, national editor Andrew Coyne wrote about the potential pitfalls of widespread negative advertising.

"The whole profession is degraded, to the point that people tune out of politics altogether," he wrote. "The comparison has been made before: if the airlines ran attack ads savaging each others' safety records, nobody would fly

NDP Leader Andrea HorwathIn many elections there are a handful of races that decide who will form the next government.

In this election, there are several races expected to be really close.

After the ballot boxes close at 9 p.m. here are five ridings to watch.:

Eglington-Lawrence

Former Toronto mayoral candidate Rocco Rossi hopes to paint Eglington-Lawrence blue for the first time in 12 years.

Standing between Rossi and Queen's Park is incumbent Liberal MPP Mike Colle.

Earlier this year, the federal Tories grabbed the riding away from the Liberals with Joe Oliver, who now holds the government's natural resources portfolio. In previous provincial elections, the Conservatives have been gaining on Colle's Liberal lead.

Vaughan

Vaughan, located just north of Toronto, has Liberal Greg Sorbara running against his former assistant Tony Genco (PC).

Genco ran as a Liberal and lost against Tory and former Toronto police chief Julian Fantino in last fall's byelection before turning to the Tories. Adding to the intrigue,

B.C. Premier Christy ClarkFor those looking for reasons why more women don't get involved in politics, look no further.

While watching Question Period in B.C.'s legislature Wednesday, David Schreck, political pundit and former NDP MLA, stirred up controversy when he asked: "Is Premier Clark's cleavage-revealing attire appropriate for the legislature?"

Schreck was referring to Clark's v-shaped neckline dress which he deemed too revealing.

Many of Schreck's Twitter followers were angered by his comments.

"It's sexist, David, to call out her bust line!" responded Liberal pundit Alise Mills.

Mark Marissen, Clark's ex-husband and former adviser to Paul Martin, even came to her defense.

"As an unofficial voice of the NDP, you have sunk to a new low. Shame on you, Mr. Schreck," he wrote.

Schreck didn't back down, however, and later posted a curt retort on the website of the Georgia Straight newspaper.

"I don't consider it to be getting into trouble to raise sensitive issues. It may be politically incorrect to discuss
