Looks like Ken is pretty safe holding onto his riding: [www.cbc.ca]

Shouldn't posts about wrestling go in the "Other Sports" section?

Not so much in the cabinet any more, I'd assume.

Fortunately.

Oh no, the new conservative government in Canada could curtail spending and that might threaten overall funding for the JSF project. Those poor military-industrial engineers might be without jobs

Just kidding, I know that Harper has promised to increase defense spending, and quick google searching reveals what Canada isn't yet in on the project.

Anybody get a reading on what Ken's voting record is? Is he centrist or strongly liberal?

Hahahahahaha. As one of those poor engineers who spent the last 3 years suckling at th...er, I mean working my butt off on JSF, I can assure you that Canada's funding or lack thereof is important in their minds only. JSF will easily spend $40B in development (it's already projected to be $30B and they haven't even flown yet) over about a 10 year period. At 2000 normal work-hours per year, that's $2M per hour. Every hour. For 10 years. Canada contributed $150M to the development - thanks for those two weeks, Canada, I remember them well. Those were my favorite two weeks on the project - we all watched hockey and said 'eh' a lot. You hosers!
