I Shaved My Head When Robert Stanfield Died

"...because Canadian politics is a baffling mystery that, when explained, still doesn't make sense, and has no bearing on anything." -Commenter on a Diefenbaker YTMND I made

Look Peter I wasn't going to say anything:

Peter Goldring took a shot at the Liberals for running candidates out of riding even though he doesn't live in his riding. Rona Ambrose, Edmonton-Spruce Grove Candidate lives in Edmonton Strathcona. Brian Mulroney, Montrealer ran in King's Hants Nova Scotia and Manicougan QC. Preston Manning lived in Edmonton and relocated to run, but Stockwell Day took a vacant seat in BC. Laurie Hawn lives outside Edmonton Centre, so does Ignatief. So did I. Jack Pickersgill was elected 7 times for a Newfoundland riding and never resided in the province. This is not arrogance. This is simply people identifying thier consituency, even though they don't live there.

Peter Goldring, you try to be on top of every issue that you think will get you press, but you instead come off as a callow opportunist. Eventually, this gets recognised.

Brian Mulroney ran in Central Nova where Elmer Mackay, Peter Mackay's father, was the current sitting member of parliament.
