Now that he's been elected to government, he can bed Belinda Stronach, just like every other loose politico in North America.
Best family tree here is Nielsen- Eric Nielsen, Deputy PM in Mulroney’s Cabinet, is Leslie Nielsen’s brother.
Dumbass question from the Lower 48 - They keep talking about on CBC about how Dion (your version of Harry Reid I assume) is going to be ousted by the Libs. Don’t suppose the Lib party would stick this Trudeau fella in as the party leader because of his ancestry?

The beach at Cavendish was fantastic last time I was in PEI.
Hard to say ... the libs may get desperate. Down the road I suspect. They will want to revive “Trudeaumania”. BARF

Warm? Beaches around here were at 83 degrees Fahrenheit last month.
Thank-you! We are very happy with the results although a majority goverment would have been ideal...
See how polls can be so wrong - deliberately or otherwise, which gives me great hope for McCain-Palin on Nov 4th. The pollsters were saying it would be a ‘too close to call’ election for us and voila, the CPC gets a STRONGER minority government than before!
They’re drawn up by Elections Canada after each census. Our Constitution specifies a specific number of seats for Québec, with the remaining seats divided among the other provinces based on the ratio of population to that of Québec.
Also, unlike the USA, federal elections here are administered entirely by the feds.

Trudeau the elder did the kind of long term damage to Canada that LBJ did to the US. Canada is an entirely different place than it was in 1967.
Apparently Mr. Harper has no plans to spread the wealth around, is this correct.
Not likely anytime soon because he’s a political newbie- frosh MP with no track record. Next Lib leader will be either Ignatieff or Rae.
Folks from Alberta have had their money stolen from them for 40 years. They're sick of it.
The western end of PEI is nice too. Quiet, no tourists and there are a couple of very nice beaches there (Skinner’s Pond for one where Stompin’ Tom Connors grew up) that you will have all to yourself. We vacationed there twice and look forward to going back.
Does voting there require showing some sort of identification or can dead people vote?
