Coincidence, pathetic, hilarious, trippy.
Doug Mackay, the candidate for the Marijuana Party of Canada in the riding of Thunder Bay - Rainy River lost in his campaign for a seat in parliament on the Januray 23rd, 2006 federal election.
He recieved 420 votes.
I am not making this up.

EDITORS NOTE: I blogged prematurely. At the time I wrote this, not all the reults had come. There were 2 polling station remaining. Meaning, in those final two station, he recieved 4 votes.
The irony now is that I DID make it up.
