Things are in full swing in the search for Canada’s best Premier…

-In Alberta, Manning and Klein are neck and neck with Lougheed nipping on their heels. My personal pick would have been John Brownlee, but without him in the poll, I’d have to reluctantly go with Lougheed.

-In the search for BC’s least corrupt Premier, it’s Bennett leading Barrett and Bennett, on the 6th ballot.

-Manitoba has their Final Four.

-PEI is on to the quarter-finals.

-It was Robichaud over McKenna in the preliminary round in New Brunswick…round two should be up today.

–Ontario is now voting for a champion.

-Taking a break from spoiling the Harry Potter book and telling kids there’s no such thing as Santa Clause, the SDA crowd has decided to stack the Saskatchewan poll in favour of Grant Devine.

-Oh, and Nova Scotia is off and running.

-Also on the East Coast, the field has been announced in Newfoundland, with voting set to start tomorrow.

-That just leaves Quebec and I have it on good authority that the people at Fuddle-Duddle will have the bilingual ballot up and running shortly.
