And NDP win in Toronto Centre was always a possibility, but a Liberal win in Brandon-Souris was never thought to be in the cards until forum started polling one. While I'd rather see that Liberals win both, a win in Brandon would be all together more surprising than a loss in Cabbagetown Calivancouverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714105881073755258noreply@blogger.com
