Canadians can't campaign on election day? ...That's silly.

In medias.
They can still call people, going on door to door....

That's silly.  If that's the case, so did Ignatieff:
"This election doesn't belong to the politicians, it doesn't belong to me; it belongs to the people of Canada; and I hope everybody will vote today and, of course, I want everybody to vote Liberal."

And probably Layton and Duceppe, too.  

Canada seems to be the king of silly election day laws.




I'm wondering if that law and the one prohibiting broadcast of election results breach the charter's protection of freedom of speech. It would be interesting to see what would happen if those laws were challenged.

Happened, Supreme Court said than no.

According to the news, Liberals and Conservatives are contesting the election of Ruth Ellen Brosseau (NDP) in Berthier-Maskinongé.

According to them, the candidate form isn't legally filled.
Some people who signed don't remember it and some are saying they thought they were signing a petition.

Stupid, stupid. The woman is a walking disaster. They really should hope to keep her in Ottawa as long as possible.

The woman was living in Ottawa, so, she wasn't involved in the signatures.

I heard that may not have been the legal response to give about the signatures?

That was an answer to the comment than the woman was a disaster, not about the signatures.

That doesn't exist.

That is Eastern Montérégie, Western Eastern Townships and Drummondville area.

Even if someone manages to find a name for Granby-Stanstead-Magog-Bromont area (I suppose it perhaps exists), it has nothing to do with Drummondville, so no common name.

EDIT: Can I ask why?
