SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Minister of International Cooperation Beverley Oda said at the request of the Ukraine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, 60 Canadians would monitor voting in Ukraine on Sunday.

Should a second vote be required, which was widely expected due to narrow polling margins, 200 more Canadian monitors have been designated, the Canwest News Service reported.

If needed, the second vote would take place Feb. 7, and some 3,000 monitors would be involved, the Financial Times said.

The Canwest News Service said polls suggest incumbent President Viktor Yushchenko will get the most votes in the first round, but not enough to secure victory. He led the 2004 campaign known as the Orange Revolution that distanced the former Soviet republic from Russia and sought more Western alliances and ideologies.

His key opponent is Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
