He will be fine. That was a 62% Tory riding in 2011. Rathgeber bows out is my guess. He won't want to suffer a Guergis fate.

Redistributed, it becomes 64%.

In less depressing news, Hastman is running in Edmonton St. Albert. Great news, hopefully he climbs the ranks quickly. Grin

This is very exciting news! I hope he gets the nomination and wins the General, he'll be a great MP, a great potential future Minister and I know will stand up for his constituents and give them excellent representation.

Oh, that's what all that excitement was about on Facebook.

Is he a significant candidate in some way? Why do you hope he climbs the ranks quickly?

James Moore criticises Joe Clark on Facebook (posts photo of front page of "Embassy: Canada's Foreign Policy Newsweekly" with headline: "Joe Clark Calls for a Return to Soft Power") and posts a comment of: "With respect, no. Let's learn from past failures and not repeat them, Mr Clark."

Hear hear. Mulroney's the only ex-PM with FP advice worth listening to.

Tories are running Cantonese and Punjabi radio ads on Trudeau's drug policy, which seem to be working thus far.

Great, the Champlain Bridge is literally cracking up. Or at least one of its support pillars is.

Alberta PCs are holding their leadership review today and tomorrow. Most expect Redford to pass, but by how much? Most observers don't think they'll boot their leader for the fourth consecutive time, mostly because they're in no mood to do so. There's still time, and at any rate I hope they keep her till 2016.

Things could get interesting if Wright is charged or the Tories lose Brandon-Souris.

Harper electoral liability in the west? He's mostly been a liability in the east. mUst not be going well if he is in the Reform west now.

Trudeau calls the PLQ "supposedly federalist." Actually, he was referring to the NDP. On the flip side, Mulcair talking that up hurts him in Ontario. So a draw.

It has been one form of Tory or another for eons, '93 excepted, though. Personally I expect another Calgary Centre.

Forgot to post these CROP from a couple of days ago. 36-28-16-13 topline federally, 31 apiece among Francophones with a 57-19 Liberal lead over the Tories among non-Francophones. 308 projects that as 42-32-4, with the BQ being wiped out. Never seen the latter in a poll, don't recall last time I saw the first. Still happy results for me.

Provincially a 37-32-17 race, with a 39-27 PQ lead among Francophones. CROP projects a Liberal minority with those numbers. 308 60-57 PLQ.

So Harper takes Heritage? That would leave a nice safe seat open in Calgary Shepard

Odd that a Canadian riding has a Bengali name.

The riding doesn't exist yet, but it's named after this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnapore,_Calgary
