   AA> T did say "vote for me and you won't ever need to vote again".   
      
   KW>#11thprovince. I'd vote for that, but lord help our friends up North if   
     >it happened.   
      
   Speaking of voting.. Our coming Federal election a the end of April,   
   I mentioned the Polls were showing the Liberals and Conservatves so   
   close (1% difference) that they couldn't say who was in front, but   
   they clarified it today saying that that was the 'popular' vote when   
   asking a few thousand people who they would vote for Today but, like   
   down there, 1 vote is not 1 vote. A district elects an Member from   
   a party and those members make up seats in the government and apparently   
   at the moment Carney is estimated to win 152 seats and the Conservatives   
   at 119.   
      
   They are both hoping to get more obviously, and to get a majority   
   government in place you need at least 172 seats, so there's a ways   
   to go still and we may end up with another Minority gov't and   
   making deals with other small parties to get things passed..   
      
   Popular vote is like when Hillary Clinton got more votes than Trump   
   in his last election but he won more districts, and the election.
