Damn, that's going to be a tough Jihad to win. The Yes votes are already at 88%.

Time for a CP Jihad?

(It's at the very bottom of this article at least, after the comments.)

I love how the Sun wants to be the NYTimes, and tries to make their product feel valuable by telling you that this is your 1st free article out of 20 for the month. As if I'll read 19 more SUN articles this year, never mind this month.

How come when they add up a poll whose only options are "yes" or "no", it only adds up to 94%?

Is that some good, old, Edmonton math at work?

Here, I think Jihad means vote in a poll. Obviously, we all feel the same way.

I don't think the way we're using it Jihad has any prepositions following it. So, to Jihad something is just contextually understood.

No, we're voting "No". We don't want Lowe to resign.


The re-sign vs resign confusion has another casualty.

Resign = quit his job
Re-sign = sign another contract

The question isn't if Edmonton should re-sign Lowe, it is if Lowe should resign from his position as losingest executive in hockey and general all around a$$hole as described in Wikipedia.
