There's a poll out now that has the Greens in second in Quebec, which would be a hell of a thing. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 17:27 13
- You had suggested that Green would have a strong showing in my riding, which I assume is because of their ex-Liberal candidate. - Beryllium Oct 1, 17:36 10

        3 is a lock, 5 is a solid shot and they'll be competitive in all. -- nm - Reagen Oct 1, 17:42
