14. No, it's the C.R.A.P. SOBs we're having the trouble with... |

The Tories really aren't as bad as the C.R.A.P.s, Mulroney notwithstanding. (Actually, Stephen "I Look And Act Just Like Newt Gingrich" Harper would be worse than Mulroney.)
I voted. I was stunned at how many people were at my polling place at 3:30 on a Monday afternoon. I was also stunned at how many candidates we had in my riding (London North-Centre) -- Liberal, Conservative (aka C*anadian R*eform A*lliance P*arty), Progressive Conservative (aka Tories, Red Tories), New Democrat Party, Green, and Marxist-Leninist (!).
Now all we have to do is bite our nails until the returns come in...
Remember, vote early, vote often! :)

The PC party still exists, at least to some nominal degree -- they were running a candidate in my riding! There are some Red Tory refuseniks out there (including, I might add, the very high-profile Joe Who) who just didn't go along with the merger. Hence the appearance of a PC candidate on the ballot in London North-Centre.
And I beg to differ with you -- the C.R.A.P.s are not the "Reform Party" anymore; ever since that fateful day, they were -- and ever shall be -- the Canadian Reform Alliance Party. :)

But it's frustrating, because living in Harper's riding, I don't feel my vote counts for a hell of a lot. But I'm going anyway, 'cause if I don't I won't be able to complain.
Missing sig line insults Harper. Just so everyone knows.

is if Harper didn't win in his own riding. I would laugh so hard. That would be PERFECT.

I'm not familiar with that term -- is it a precinct? Legislative district? Something else altogether?
Excuse my ignorance. :dunce:

10. District. Equivalent to a congressional district, basically. |

Duceppe's riding.

Not a Canadian, but checked out the NDP a bit. I thought they had a very sensible approach.
