Hi B.Z., and thanks for linking to the Pundits' Guide! Mr. Bender spells his name with a single L ... you must have been sneaking the other one in to stand for "libertarian" I bet ;-)

I would like to take this moment to proudly offer my whole-hearted endorsement to Philip Bender and the Libertarian Party of Canada in this upcoming Guelph by-election.

I hope Guelph opts to elect a member from the ONLY party in Canada that TRULY recognizes that minimal government is the way to go.

Go Philip Go!
