Even years ago I thought this was a good idea. I've lived in a couple of heavily contested ridings, and while I understand everyone is running to win, it always infuriated me with the Liberals and NDP refused to cooperate.
I'm now living in Bob Rae's former riding, and if he were still MP, I'd probably vote for him. (This despite the fact that I haven't yet forgiven him for booting Peter Kormos out of provincial cabinet. That's a long grudge, isn't it?) I'll have to see who's running for the NDP next time round. From what I can tell, though, this is a pretty secure Liberal riding.
Provincially we seem to be doing okay. I'm just grateful the province didn't fall to conservative again. Andrea Horvath, however, was god-awful during the election, and I'm not surprised the NDP did so badly.
The next big concern here, of course, is the mayoral election. WTF is wrong with the people who keep giving Rob Ford a pass???? If you haven't seen it, you should watch the Daily Show segment where Jessica Williams tries to find out just how much crack a major has to smoke before Torontonians get upset. It's both funny and sad.
