Only in Canada??? Seriously....

[reno cool]

ooh, I want to be the first non Canadian to post here.

What's an mp? what's a riding? Everything sounds so much more laid back and innocent over there.

MP = Member of Parliament

A riding is an electoral district - the whole country is subdivised in districts of ~100,000 population http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_district_(Canada)

The main difference between Canadian and American politics is that slight differences of opinion among Canadian candidates does not result in them being accused of being exactly like Hitler quite so often.

Does she come from a rich, influential family ?

 

[Mudcat]

I don't know. I don't get that impression. She was working as an assistant manager at a University bar.

I am still looking for any new pictures of her but all I have found is this:

Unlikely. She didn't even wanna run, they asked her to out of a lack of proper candidates. A good number of their elected MP's have very little experience.

Mickey Mouse operation.

nice, I'd vote her based on that pic alone

 

[Matty]

That's pretty much what people did. That picture started circulating during the campaign when it was found out that she was busy vacationing in Vegas instead of campaigning.



Wait, I thought you were talking about her actual photo. Never mind me. Have images turned off at work.

Why don't you run for the Parliament ? I am serious. It does not even affect me but I do not like this one bit. $700,000 for the next four years to this bimbo! And don't forget the multiplier effect of contacts etc.

Good idea. Ima lead the Libertarian party to a majority govt in 2015. Ish.

I'm an argumentative prick. Would make a good MP or MPP during question period. I like taking opposing sides and say things out of spite. Maybe I'll get some faggy 3 year poly sci degree and then run.

Fingers crossed nobody ever googles "fiveteamer".
