	35048 - Mississauga East-Cooksville
		A.S. A nondescript 905-Liberal rubber-stamp seat, but for one bizarre blip of 2004 election-eve trivia: this was the seat which Pierre Chenier of the Marxist-Leninist Party was reported to be winning according to the earliest returns.
		And believe it or not, the evidence is set in stone in Poll 73C according to Elections Canada's official returns--and from all appearances, it's a likely tabulation error where the otherwise dominant Guarnieri vote (here registered as zero) was placed in the Chenier column by accident.
		Albina Guarnieri won back in 1988 when the Conservatives were strong in the 905 belt ridings.

		According to a source close to Guarnieri, she and McLellan became locked in an impassioned battle -- Guarnieri fighting to ease many of the most onerous aspects of the registry, McLellan pushing to keep the registry exactly as is. Guarnieri was not invited to the meetings when the final changes were agreed upon.

	Cherniak on Politics: Cherniak endorses Albina Guarnieri
		From my discussion with Albina, where she told me about traveling around the province and donating volunteers to other ridings, I was confirmed in my suspicion that she truly has the best of motivations.
		I think Albina Guarnieri is a good Veterans minister.
		This is just my opinion, but I tend to focus more on vulnerable or swing ridings than safe ones and I think for now Mississauga East-Cooksville is pretty safe, although you have to go a ways out of the city or to the waterfront (NDP) to find ridings where the Liberals are vulnerable.
