Yup!! I agree. Manitoba has always had a certain portion that is solidly NDP.
I have a question about how this sort of works. Even though the COngress has got alot more nationalized alot still has to do with the local guy running. His personality, local issues, etc that often or doesnt have to do with alot with the President or the party agenda. There talking about how the polls were showing a possible conservative majority, Could it be like heae that often people think Republican nationally but might just like the local dem better for some odd reason. In other words people wnated to conservatives to control but for whatever reason they thought their "liberal" represenatives wasnt so bad. I guess do Canadians vote for the party more or do they more lean to vote fort he man or woman as an individual in these ridings
