AWK, I had no idea you took such an interest in Canadian politics. Personally, I don't think a Christmas election (or January election, whcich would mean campaigning over Christmas) would work in anyone's favour. I think the Conservatives want to campaign through Christmas about as much as we want them to be campaigning through Christmas. So help me, God, if Jim Pankiw comes to my door campaigning Christmas morn, I will shoot him. I am not a violent man, but I will shoot him.
