My riding

For your curiosity:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orl%C3%A9ans_(electoral_district)

It's where I've lived, generally speaking, since moving to Ottawa in 1985 with my parents right after I escaped high school. We note that the local Liberal riding association has finally selected their candidate, one Marie-France Lalonde, who worked as Kathleen Wynne's Community Safety and Correctional Services minister and Francophone Services minister, and that Wikipedia's volunteer editor corps has not caught up with that fact about the riding in the 2019 federal election as I write this. And apparently, there was a bit of chaos involved, judging by the CBC News report linked above.

Ahem.

There's a lot more detail I could probably go into about Orléans at the moment, but that can wait.

Sounds like a decent candidate?

I think I voted Tory once in my life, but I can't remember if I went with them or NDP. I was really frustrated at Dalton and I was in a deep red riding, with a good Tory candidate and a good NDP candidate. Wouldn't do it for today's provincial Tories, for sure.
