Don’t forget: if you live in the Parkdale/High Park riding (“riding” is a Canadian term that means “electoral district”), there’s an all candidates meeting tonight (for my readers outside Ontario — there’s a provincial election coming up). Here’s a photo of the poster announcing the meeting, featuring the candidates who will be present:
Zork Hun? I had no idea you were allowed to run using your Star Wars name. But seriously, that name just leaps off the ballot, doesn’t it? I’m half-tempted to vote for him just for the name.
Let’s see: Built while “bored” (I’m reading “bored” as “drunk, possibly high”) one night, and…

His only campaign promise? That you will be eaten by a grue.
@Brian: "You are in a maze of twisty candidates, all alike."
Speaking as someone who was at the debate, I can vouch for Zork having alternate universe-like ideas. My favourite quote of the evening: "hundreds of millions of people in Ontario...". I knew traffic was getting worse, maybe this incredible increase in population is to be blamed. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, I attended the debate with an open mind, but it didn't stay open to Zork for very long, despite his excellent name. Better to destroy your ballot.
@Erin: Oh, wow. Now I really wish that I could've made it to last night's meeting. As much as I want to hear from the viable candidates, I loooove hearing from the wacky ones. The Marijuana Party guy from the 2006 federal elections was priceless at the all-candidates meeting.
I saw this guy too and had the same reaction! I even made the same grue joke!
One coworker thought I said his name was "Zorkon" and that he was an extra from "Flash Gordon". Which also fits.
