and to people, events and political currents that open doors to new ways of thinking, hopefully more adequate to confront the central contradictions of our times. It is, however, one thing to open doors but quite another to pass through en masse, to explore what might exist on the other side.

Atlantic Canada went 24-8 for the Liberals last election.
Conservatives would like to hold everywhere they won last time, plus maybe Cape Breton, Malpeque on PEI, or a couple rural Newfoundland ridings.
Liberals would like to take Miramichi and South Shore-St. Margarets.
