Disenfranchised
Since my official Canadian residence (where my mom lives) is in Toronto Centre, one of the 4 districts that held bye-elections yesterday, I wanted to cast my vote for Chris Tindall, who was representing the Green Party. I faxed in the appropriate form the day before the deadline but only received my ballot on voting day itself, thereby preventing me from participating. I suppose I could have sent the form in earlier but what's the point of having a deadline if it doesn't help get shit done on time...? Anyway, it looks like Chris did quite well even without my help.

Your, and the Green Party's, definition of "very well" differs from the system's definition. You had me worried for a minute. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

Well, nearly trebling their votes is a big deal.

Aside to Yvonne: did you catch the snark this time?

Which is pretty easy if you start from a very small number. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

Well, 13.6% isn't that small. They were only a few dozen votes shy of 2nd place, after all.
