The Blogging Tories' Jarrett Plonka unwisely tries his hand at humour:
Some byelection thoughts:
1) a) The Liberals' Ontario ridings would've elected a ficus plant if it were under the Liberal banner, ...
As opposed to the far more selective and discerning Alberta Conservative voter, is that it, Jarrett?
Some advice, Jarrett -- leave snark to the professionals. It just doesn't work for you. Really.

Don't be too rough on Western Canadians. All they've got out there is CanWest-Global.
Not true, Ti-Guy.
Anyway...
I remember "Backseat Blogger" getting outraged when I suggested some time back that a lot of Conservatives in the Interior of B.C. would vote for a toaster if it was running for the CPoC. He started boo-hooing that I'd "insulted" countless people. The case in point was a candidate in the last election who lost I believe but still managed to get 17,000 votes or something even though he'd been charged the previous month with dangerous driving resulting in a serious automobile accident and had also been charged after that with smuggling alcohol across the border (he was subsequently convicted).
Just for the record, ti-guy, Manitoba, a Western province by any definition, is the one and ONLY province in Canada that does not have a CanWest newspaper. This is especially ironic, given the Aspers' Manitoba roots; it's also further proof that we here in the Keystone province are just a little bit smarter than everybody else.
Better looking, too...
Not true, Ti-Guy.
Well, what else is there?
Look, I let you guys get away with the relentless, unending, hate-drenched Ontario bashing...let me make my mild generalisations once in a while.
...;)
Besides...it's not an indictment of the people...just of the media, which compared to the rest of the country, is just not very diverse.
Ti-Guy — I thought you were talking about all media, not just newspapers. CanWest is the only "mainstream" paper here in town, but many people prefer the local alternative weekly and/or the Globe & Mail.
Not sure about household appliances, RT, but unless I'm mistaken the Conservatives have had a few potted plants elected in Western Canada.
