He's almost back to normal...he's been SO sick lately but we realized that it was from the percoset (sp?) he's been taking (it does that to my grandma too) so he's not really on pain meds and he's ok so that's a good sign. He has a follow up appt with the doctor on Thursday :)


:lol: Bri about amusing him :wink:

Sweet dreams. And thanks!


Tre, what would you like to know? Maybe I can educate you :sexywink:




Drea, do you know where I could see a lay out of who's winning in TO. Rumours were that it had a lot of NDP support.....but I'm not familar with all the ridings to be able to negotiate the cbc site

He's running against Jack Layton, not a Liberal *g*

"This time both NDP leader Jack Layton and Green Party leader Jim Harris are running in the same riding of Toronto Danforth." (from cbc.ca)

Yes, but here in Michigan, we have a town which elected an 18-year-old mayor last summer.

:lol:

Some one was telling me that in one of the ridings, a kid who was a volunteer found himself the MP of the party. :lol:



Ontario Toronto-Danforth
New Democrat Leader Jack Layton faces off against Liberal Deborah Coyne, who's probably best known as the mother of Pierre Trudeau's only daughter.

Ooo....Layton vs a Trudeau association.
And Layton won.

My riding went Liberal (Willowdale), Jack Layton has been declared 'elected' in Toronto-Danforth... I can check the ridings I know are in TO for you and see :)
 
Ladies and gentleman, it's been fun, it's been real, it's been real fun. However, I just remembered I have a little errand I have to do before the end of the evening.

I hope the election returns aren't too disappointing for you, my Ontario friends. :hug:

:remembers back in 2004 when disappointed liberal-minded Americans threatened to move to Canada:

Good night, see you soon. :wave:

anything, i know nothing :loser: :tsk:

:hmm:
Ok.


It's not too complex I don't think....
We've got 3..well, I suppose 4 main parties.
The Liberals. heart:
The conservatives :mad:
The NDP (liberal like, very much for the 'common guy')
And everyones favourite, the Bloq Quebecois (our special lilttle separatist group)

They each have leaders,
Paul Martin
Harper :mad:
Jack Layton
and Gilles Duceippe

Each riding (there are 308) have MPs from 3 of theses parties (the BQ are only in Quebec). (each riding may also have representatives from a few of the lesser 'parties' the Green, the Marijuana party etc lol )
Each elected MP gets a seat in parliament.

A Majority government occurs if any one party has over 155 seats.

A minority otherwise. The minority goes to whomever has the most seats. But the other two parties combined have more, thus, when it comes to votes in parliament, they have quite a bit of power.
However, due to this, minority governments usually dohn't last.



:blahblah:



Night Sami :hug:
Night Jo :hug:


And Drea, if you don't mind. I'm just curious. :) You don't have to.

Very good explanation - my clone's so smart! :love:


SG, Jem is premium. :yes:
 
Hmm.. I've checked 6 of the ridings I know are TO or GTA, and there seems to be a trend...

Oops, make that 8, including the two I'd checked before *g*

6 ridings - Lib elected
1 riding - Lib leading
1 riding - NDP elected (Layton)

There's a bunch of other ridings I could check still, but I'm fairly sure it's a TO trend - we may complain about the Liberals around here, but it's clear we'd rather still have them around than the Conservatives :lol:

That's one of the TO ridings I haven't checked yet... Now, if I can remember what the Kensington Market riding is.. :wink:

**Aha! Trinity-Spadina (riding #202)...

She's leading Tony Ianno by about 750 votes atm VP
