What's "riding" as used in this article?The term is also found in Britain as well. It's origins go back to the time when an areas representative rode horseback. How much of an area, or number of villages could be reached in a day or week by "riding" a horse.
Today such an area would be known as a Gulfstream V.

A riding is a Canadian equivalent to a U.S Congressional or State lower house district. Both the federal and provincial Parliaments have members elected from ridings.

It's something that liberals enjoy.They want us to surrender in Iraq and give up our guns so the criminals and terrorist can ride us into the ground.
