He's a rookie too, although he takes over from a pro-equal marriage MP, so net effect is 0.Ted Bettshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223729391428982448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13843231.post-1138213865742528162006-01-25T13:31:00.000-05:002006-01-25T13:31:00.000-05:00There's Keeper in northern Manitoba, Merasty in no...There's Keeper in northern Manitoba, Merasty in northern Saskatchewan, and Wilson in West Vancouver, whom I discuss <A HREF="http://bouquetsofgray.blogspot.com/2006/01/election-effect-on-net-opposition-to.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.
