Kate, this probably will not be in the media tomorrow about the American Count Iggy’
He attended an Ontario Hockey league play-off game in Mississauga, Ontario tonight, there were about 4000 fans from Niagara and Mississauga present in the arena. He was introduced to the fans, waved, bowed etc. and was booed by the whole crowd for over two minutes. We are not sure how long he stayed at the game afterwards. Mississauga according to the media is supposed to be a Liberal stronghold !!!.

Well, it’s been reported by Open Ice Hockey reporter Nathan Dearing. Over at the Ignatieff campaign bus, the big media tweeters remained silent.
Update – Well, here’s a brand new Canadian Press story on the game. No Liberal leaders reported in attendance.
Morning Update – Confirmation from the V.P. Marketing of the Mississauga St. Mike’s Majors …
And this absolute howler from CP reporter Steve Rennie, traveling with the Ignatieff campaign.

Edmonton Sun;

Ryan Hastman’s campaign office is filing an official complaint with Elections Canada alleging that 550 names in the hotly contested Edmonton-Strathcona riding are “bogus and invalid.” After the Conservatives lost the riding in an extremely close race three years ago, the Tory candidate says he isn’t taking any chances.
In 2008, Linda Duncan received just 460 more votes than the runner-up, Conservative incumbent Rahim Jaffer in the race.
“In a close race like this, every vote will count,” said Hastman. “It’s important that only valid addresses are included in the voters list.”
Hastman’s campaign office claims the bogus entries in the Elections Canada’s voters list include several businesses — including a hemp store and a gas station — and an empty field. The office also alleges that hundreds of voters are also registered at addresses of industrial companies, storage lockers and private mail boxes.

Now is the time at SDA when we flashback!

[T]he Laurie Hawn campaign acquired a City of Edmonton map which listed all buildings and their street addresses and began thoroughly checking the revised voters list….
# Almost 100 apparently nonexistent addresses in Edmonton’s downtown core – in some cases, the addresses listed fictional residences in between two genuine buildings
# Hundreds of people registered to vote out of their law offices, medical offices, accounting offices, and Government of Canada offices – in some cases these may be genuine errors, but in other cases, entire families are registered to vote out of high rise office space
# Dozens of people registered to vote out of office towers, but who did not list a suite number, causing the address to read similarly to ordinary residences – in many cases, these people are also registered to vote in other ridings using their home addresses, and in other cases, voters living in other ridings are only registered in Edmonton Centre
# Dozens of people registered to vote out of small mail box locations and from self-storage yards – there is no legitimate way for a person to appear on the list of Electors from a self-storage yard
# Eighteen people registered to vote out of a truck stop
# People registered to vote out of karaoke bars, lingerie stores, dance lounges, galleries, etc…
