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.
