Another day, another opposition riding
If this is Wednesday, we must be in an opposition riding. In fact, same thing for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Stephen Harper's push for a majority seems to so far presume none of the ridings already held by Tories needs a boost from the leader.
Playing offence from the get-go, Harper's tour (technically-speaking) began at Rideau Hall on Sunday, which happens to be in a Liberal-held riding in Ottawa. Since then, it's stopped in a Bloc riding, followed by a Liberal riding followed by Liberal, an NDP, a Liberal, Liberal, Liberal and Liberal.
Tomorrow, Harper begins his day in Montreal, in, yes, a Liberal riding (targeting Stéphane Dion's star candidate Marc Garneau).
It's almost like they've got a plan.
