Hi Mark, the point about the lack of Conservative representation was made strongly in the media last night. But take heart, this is the media. For example Delta and Langley are not part of Vancouver "proper" but they are Vancouver indeed. Sure, those who live in those inner cities may not have elected Conservatives but the neighbouring constituencies did elect Conservatives. I want to know how many people this is out of all of Canada, but the media did not tell us this. I wonder why? Those who can afford to live in the inner cities may represent a distinct chosen culture within Canada, and they are the darlings of the media. They believe that elites (no doubt in their mind meaning themselves) should have a disproportional access to the media and make all of the important decisions. Does this mean that we should allow them to disproportionately affect our perceptions? LHE
