Anyone out there who might have professional expertise, legal or historical or whatever, on Canadian voting records from mid- to mid-late 20th century? If you do, can you ping me at talk (at) talkingpointsmemo.com?

My guess: Ted Cruz voted in Canadian elections.

1. You can't vote in Canadian elections

unless you're a resident or meet the following criteria.

"While you're living outside Canada, you can still vote in Canada provided you are a Canadian citizen who meets the following criteria:

Has resided in Canada any time prior to voter registration
Has resided outside of Canada for fewer than 5 years since last returning to Canada
Intends to resume residency in Canada in the future"

Some people have said that just visiting Canada every 5 years is enough but elections Canada put the kibosh on that thought.

In addition to that I'd be really surprised if Cruz ever voted in Canada. He's never shown any interest in Canada, it's policies or it's people, and as far as I know his entire family has, fortunately for Canada, vacated the nation.

6. Do you have a guess?

My other guess would be something related to Rob Ford but I have no idea what Josh's interest in Canadian election law would have to do with him.

3. Silly Josh...

...doesn't he know he can just make up his own facts? Who does he think he is? A real journalist who does research and stuff?

4. He should just do like Fox and start every story with a question.

5. LOL!

That would be hilarious, actually! And, I can see him doing it just to make a point.
