Those Generous Liberals From North Pole, Saskatchewan

Guess what - Santa and his elves must be Liberal supporters. Or so it appears in the December 2006 quarterly report, posted on the Elections Canada website. Conservative Queen blogger discovered eight contributors from three different provinces, all having the same postal code - H0H 0H0.

That's a fictional postal code which Canada Post has assigned for letters to Santa Claus. There are no real postal codes in H0 range because there can't be rural postal codes (that have 0 as their second character) assigned to the city of Montreal (which has all the codes beginning with H). Surprisingly enough, some people can actually reside in a non-existing postal code and send their checks to the Liberal party from there.


I know there is a constituency that is split between Toronto and the "905" belt, but I've never heard of a constituency split between three different provinces which (to the surprise of some Liberals) do not border each other... Could someone please name the MP for that particular constituency? I tried to enter H0H 0H0 on the Parliament website - it gave me no results :(
The difference in treatment offered by Elections Canada to the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party continues to be obvious. It seems that, in the eyes of Elections Canada and Chief Electoral Officer the Liberals can do no wrong. This has reached the point were the Liberals have submitted laughable and erroneous information to the agency, with no apparent castigation or punishment.
Double standards? You bet!

Hey, I don't think there are any Liberals in North Pole, Saskatchewan.

It's just down the road from Podunk and Nowhereville, in my home province and I know it well.
