If only the above were true. In the past federal election she was elected by a clear majority again.
Her riding is Mississauga-Erindale, my parents live in that riding and I live in the riding beside it.
Everyone who I talked to who voted for her claim that they had to vote while holding their nose, but they wanted Martin in, and had to give liberals the vote.
That is the problem with our system, we have to vote for the party and not the candidate.
I think I'd prefer to vote for the prime-minister seperately like in the states.
