Saturday marked day one on the campaign trail in Ontario and locally in London.

"My name is Chris Robson, I'm the PC candidate in your riding, in the next provincial election, which is June 12th," says Robson at a door in south London.

As some of the first signs go into the ground, Robson a veterinarian, wants those in London-Fanshawe to know, he's ready to represent them, in a tough economy.

"It's a have-not riding, in a have not city, in a have-not province," he says.

As Robson promises to get people back to work on his end of town, in London-West a sitting MPP is being handed a wish-list.

"Maybe you could do something about public transportation?" says a constituent to NDP MPP Peggy Sattler.

Sattler is the first to admit she's not had much time to address the concerns of her riding.

Elected in a by-election in 2013, Sattler has worked to know those she represents.

At the doors, she's already hearing many of the same concerns she did last year, including political trust, health-care concerns -- and the issue on many minds --- keeping a job.

"Jobs, absolutely! Getting the economy going and dealing with the impact of the recession and the collapse of manufacturing, that's key," says Sattler.

Notably absent though are Liberal candidates, as the ruling party scrambles to get campaign rolling, with only one candidate (Deb Matthews) out of the four London ridings ready to go.
