JCT: After registering in my 66th election in the Ontario
provincial election in Brant, I've just lost my 65th
election in the Quebec federal byelection in Outremont. I
only made two small news items:

>Profession: eternel perdant

On pourrait les qualifier d'eternels perdants. Ou, en termes
plus diplomatiques, de candidats perseverants. Dans
Outremont, trois des douze candidats multiplient les
tentatives pour se faire elire. Apres 64 echecs electoraux,
l'un d'eux detient meme le record Guinness du genre.
--[We could qualify them as eternal losers. Or, in more
diplomatic terms, persevering candidates. In Outremont,
three of the twelve candidates multiply the chances of being
elected. After 64 election losses, one of them even holds
the Guinness Record in the field.]

Ce champion toutes categories s'appelle John Turmel. Celui
qui se decrit comme un gambler professionnel a commence sa
longue aventure electorale en 1979, dans la circonscription
federale d'Ottawa West. Il a depuis participe a 27 autres
elections generales ou complementaires federales (incluant
celle du 17 septembre), 27 scrutins provinciaux (en Ontario)
et 10 municipaux.

who describes imself as a professional gambler started his
long electoral adventure in 1979, in the riding of Ottawa
West. He has participated in 27 more federal general or
byelections (including that of Sep 17), 27 provincial
ballots (in Ontario) and 10 municipal.]

Residant a Brantford, a l'ouest de Toronto, M. Turmel n'a
pas mis les pieds dans Outremont pendant la campagne. <Je me
deplace seulement si on m'invite a debattre en personne
contre les autres candidats>, affirme au bout du fil le
Franco-Ontarien de 56 ans.
--[Resident of Brantford, west of Toronto, Mr. Turmel hasn't
set foot in Outremont during the campaign. "I come only when
I'm invited to debate the other candidates in person" the 56
year-old Franco-Ontarian says on the phone.]

Celui qui revendique fierement son record Guinness
enregistre en 1997 est relativement connu au Canada anglais.
En tapant son nom dans Google, on trouve des centaines de
textes associes a ses combats, qui vont de la legalisation
des casinos prives a la legalisation de la marijuana. <La
raison principale pour laquelle je me presente, c'est pour
faire connaitre mes idees economiques>, precise cet
ingenieur de formation.
--[He who boasts his Guinness Record registered in 1997 is
relatively known in English Canada. Typing his name into
Google, we find hundreds of texts associated with his
battles, which go from the legalisation of private casinos
to the legalisation of marijuana. "The main reason I run is
to get my economic ideas known," says this engineering
graduate.]

JCT: Et je n'ai pas pu faire connaitre mon idee economique
dans cet article!
--[And I wasn't able to get my my economic mentioned in this
article.]

up in Google.ca News!

John C. Turmel: <Je suis dans le Livre Guinness des records
pour avoir fait le plus grand nombre d'elections. +
Outremont, c'est ma 65e election!>
--[John C. Turmel: "I'm in the Guinness Book of Records for
having the most elections contested. Outremont is my 65th
election."
JCT: The only good news is that the anti-war NDP took the
seat in anti-war Quebec. Remember my grandfather Adelard was
a pacifist who ducked the First World War (to end all wars,
har har har) by refusing the draft and hiding out in the
woods for the duration.
The Liberals sent Canadian forces to Afghanistan to chase
the guys who didn't do 911, the Tories are keeping them
chasing the guys who didn't do 911, the NDP only voted to
start the chase but are now the first to start admitting our
posse is chasing the wrong guys.
