Pathetic? Not quite.

I was out walking today and, it being early spring (the snow has only fully melted back in the past couple of weeks), there's lots of garbage about. This poster, a left-over sign from this winter's protracted provincial election was one such piece of garbage.

Mr Dinn, the successful district candidate for one of the two fractures of the greater business party, says he is here for you. Sad for him, his fracture of the greater business party did not win the election, so he remains outside of government.

Mind you, given the short distance from the winning fracture to his own, he'll likely be fairly supportive of the governing party.

And conveniently, not being in the government, he can put off some of that "being here" for his constituents.

(I don't have much sympathy for the greater business parties.)
