Its nice to hear a politician that actually 'gets' a lot of the issues related to the issue. I wish I could vote for him personally, but I think I have some family back in Timmins and I hope they support him.

@themindfantastic

You "think" you "have some family back in Timmins"?

I gotta ask, when did you misplace them?

@COOP

I live on the otherside of the country and when my mother has 13 brothers and sisters and they all have kids who are now adults (usually more than one each) you misplace where they all are. ;)

TheMindFantastic, I know what you mean. I have them in quantity, and these days I'm never quite sure where they all are.
