From 2004 - 2010 44 Green Party EDA's have been shut down. 44!

Does this mean that those ridings will have no candidates in the next election, and is that the start of a coalition, by the libs/ndp. And the greens will not run in any of them.
Wasn't there talk recently of not running candidates, against each other, in order to get all the anti-PMSH votes for one candidate.

Pundits Guide ROCKS!

I am curious how many Canadians truly understand how much the Bloc benefit from the Political Party Subsidy and removing it might reduce the willingess to fight an election on an annual basis.

Dang just when the Libs were making inroads in Crowfoot too. Why Sorenson was on the ropes he had dropped from 82.6% to 82% in one election.
