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.
It’s that time of year, and this is that kind of blog, so here’s the 2026…

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.
