Not really. The Bloc candidate was the incumbent, having beaten the Libs the previous time. The Grits had no chance of winning but the Tories were gaining ground on the Bloc. I voted for the Bloc to vote against the Tories. Even if Duceppe did once step on my foot.

Oh, I shall play.
I've been tasked to read/edit a colleague's text. This colleague has reviewed lots of my stuff in the past and she's a total pedant. Revenge will be mine.
I have several hundred pages of nit-picking opportunities. It will be very hard to find typos (she also works as a proofreader) but I'll enjoy finding factual or analytical cock-ups.

We were both very happy to not have a church involved at all, as I'd said from the start to the wife, that there would be a lot of stuff involved in it, and it's a lot of hassle.
One bit I forgot to add, again showing how much of a hassle it is to get married in a church, is that as we didn't live in the parish we wanted to get married in, we had to get a letter from our local parish, which involves us having to go to church for a short while, at which point we ask the church for a letter of attendance type thing, which is then forwarded to the church in the parish where the wedding will take place.
As said above, a lot of hassle and to be frank, stress, that is NOT needed when you're sorting out a wedding. We did it all ourselves, no wedding planner involved, again, didn't see/want additional costs.

2 weddings in Las Vegas with 1 DIY BC divorce in-between. Total cost prob less than $200.

Getting married in Vegas seems simple. We were stood waiting for the Guggenheim to open. A man stepped up and said the wedding chapel was free and, if we liked, we could use it to get married there and then. I asked if that was legal in Vegas and he assured us that it was. That struck me as being odd, marrying one's daughter isn't much the custom even in Nevada.
