Got another letter in the mail today from this riding's odious current MP Jim Pankiw. It claims that a recent poll shows him with 43% of decided voters, and that this means he'll win. If 43% of local voters are actually dumb enough to vote for a jerk who seems only interested in self-aggrandisement and alienating as many people as possible you really have to wonder. As an independent that is unlikely to forge any alliances with anyone of use Pankiw will be an utterly ineffectual MP in the next Parliament. Interestingly one of his rivals, Conservative candidate Brad Trost sent out a flyer last week claiming Pankiw was barely in the House during the last session.
