Though I did think that there might be something in this as soon as I head that Harpo had officially denied that he was going to call a snap election.

Radio-Canada.

The S confused me!

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I'm endorsing René Lévesque's ghost Or maybe Jean Lesage's.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I think the ADQ is now more of a



than even a sinking ship.

(now that I've done that, they'll find some way of surviving as a major party... oh cheap laughter, why must thou be so costly...)

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Have there been boundary changes since the last election [qm]

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Bye-bye, ADQ.

Hopefully. But, you know, this being an election in Quebec...

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Comfortably ADQ in 2007, narrowly PQ (over PLQ) in 2003. ADQ incumbent is running as a Liberal.

Their best result was 15% in NdG, a wealthy West Island Anglophone area (and Liberal stronghold forever, save for the Equality Party episode).

NdG (for the most part, anyway) isn't exactly wealthy. Especially not for an Anglo district.

You're right. I confused it with other Montreal neighborhoods. But definitely richer than in the past and middle income.

Mind you, the areas where QS did well are richer than they used to be. Not that that's exactly hard or anything...

20:00 IIRC.

CBC map that they'll probably update.

That's 1am GMT, right [qm]

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I'll make a map tonight, if I have time.

I'd make one now... were it not for the fact that I've got to look through a stack of old journals very soon (chances of finding anything on the subject I'm writing about; c. 0.4%). I might do when I get back, though I don't know when that is yet.
