Red = Liberal
Orange = New Democrat
Green = Green

I just realized this fits the description of many of my photos made by rdhinmn two days ago: divided into two by a strong line, like the bus shelter post, with very different cityscapes on either side. I must look into Bob's description further.

kiiti, Dutt Changgle, Marco F. Delminho, Billathon and 7 other people have particularly liked this photo

I'm with you re the flavoured lager, John, that's in the same territory as flavoured coffee. FWIW we also have elections coming at some time soon. Essentially a two horse race, Labor (US spelling) = beer/red wine, Liberals = conservatives = champagne.

I'd never noticed the ALP used the American spelling, George. Maybe I just assumed any news I read about it was written by Americans. I think there's a lot to say in favour of the -or ending, but having been writing -our for close to 70 years it's become automatic.

It's interesting your Liberals are conservatives. According to Bloomberg News, Canadian Liberals are "hardheaded socialists" ("hardheaded" being a compliment).

And I agree with you about flavoured coffee.

I can't find a clear reason "why", though there is a suggestion is was the influence of the American Labor movement, but it seems the spelling was "our" in 1908, but changed to "or" in 1912.

Will Trudeau win? Are Liberals really Conservatives? If so, isn't that kind of Crazyville?

I, too, am a member of the NON-flavored coffee club. I don't drink beer anymore, but I would be equally opposed to flavored beer. Oooh, I can't even think about it...

By American standards not even Canadian Conservatives are conservative, Diane. Their platform is somewhat to the left of your Democratic (sic) party.

There may well be a minority government again, so the New Democratic Party would decide who becomes prime minister.

I'm afraid we'll eventually have flavoured chanpagne.
