Some weeks back some local Liberals got together, we each chipped-in $20, and we did a draft of all 308 electoral districts in Canada. It's like a hockey pool, but for political nerds. After the next election, the person that drafted the most Liberal ridings wins.
For those interested, here are my picks. I expect the Liberals in these ridings to not disappoint me, and work very hard. There's big (not really) bucks on the line here!
St Laurent-Cartierville, York West, Cardigan, Bourassa, Scarborough Centre, Mississauga East—Cooksville, Don Valley East’ Madawaska—Restigouche’ Mississauga—Streetsville, Mississauga South, Vancouver South, Oakville, Burlington, Thornhill, Brant, Miramichi, Richmond, Ottawa Centre, West Vancouver--Sunshine Coast--Sea to Sky Country, Algoma--Manitoulin—Kapuskasing, Cambridge, Victoria, Tobique—Mactaquac, Parry Sound—Muskoka, Windsor—Tecumseh, Lambton--Kent—Middlesex, Niagara West—Glanbrook, Delta--Richmond East, Carleton--Mississippi Mills, New Brunswick Southwest, South Surrey--White Rock—Cloverdale, Calgary West, Wellington--Halton Hills, Charleswood--St. James—Assiniboia, Renfrew--Nipissing—Pembroke, Terrebonne—Blainville, Port Moody--Westwood--Port Coquitlam, Verchères--Les Patriotes, Skeena--Bulkley Valley, Okanagan—Coquihalla, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, Lethbridge, Prince George--Peace River, Vegreville--Wainwright
Obviously this is in the order drafted, and I won't hold high hopes for a Liberal sweep of rural Alberta. And with seven of us drafting, the solid Liberal ridings went quick. I was happy to get my sentimental first pick though, and I'm interested to see if my drafting strategy will pay dividends or not. Recommend this Post on Progressive Bloggers

You are my hero, fellow nerd.
HE HE - Just spotted Vegreville--Wainwright. Libs can pick that one up maybe if we found out the Cons were illegally channeling public funds to the Bloc or something. Ya I know, you were running out of ridings. Still funny to see.
