Hah! I did not know that Pete Mackay had such a narrow win! Since the Liberals aren't running a candidate in that riding in a deal with the Green Party, a lot of former Liberal votes may go NDP, and ol' Pete might lose his seat. Which would be HILARIOUS since he's basically Deputy PM.

Also, I went to grade school with Jim Prentice's daughter, who's just a bit of a spoiled brat. Jim himself isn't actually that bad a guy as an individual, but this new copyright crap is going a bit too far. Hopefully another election will be called over the Manley Report, killing any copyright legislation that hasn't gone though the Commons AND the Senate.
