    Tory minority in jeopardy as opposition talks coalition. Will there be another election?

    I think it was a combined conspiracy to get an extra long Christmas Recess, but that's because I'm that cynical. If I were the Liberal party I would turf Dion ASAP because come the end of January if an election is called or a chance for a coalition comes up they would need a leader that will...

    Where does your MP sit in the House of Commons?- An interactive guide

    While both Thunder Bay ridings are represented by the NDP, because of space they are sitting on the right side of the House instead of the left side. Even if they were conservative seats they would probably be in the nosebleeds, look at the Kenora riding.

    Can you beat a 9th grader in geography?

    The test is good for people with Jeopardy knowledge. I mean they didn't randomly pick the 9th grader. I scored a 104, good for a 17th place tie as of yesterday.

    Congratulations on 100,000 posts!

    I would say that there will be a million posts by the end of February/March. Just under a third of the overall posts are done by the top 50 posters. Infanteer's percentage has slipped to a measly 1.3% of army.ca and his dominance has been eclipsed by not only one, but two people. Boy times...
