DAR R E L L N E SBIT T / SO U T H M O U N T AIN PR E SS The colour of a buckskin horse, such as this one spotted in a paddock just north of the Erickson Campground, is an indication of the superior genetic heritage they possess. Buckskins have been long noted for their superior qualities and strength. “Tough as wet leather” is a good description of the true Buckskin, thought to have originated from the Spanish Sorraia. Featuring a tan or gold coloured coat with black points (mane, tail, and lower legs), it’s a real showstopper.

turnout in recent history, reaching an impressive 67.15%.

Liberal candidate Terry Hayward
followed with 22.5%, while Andrew Maxwell from the NDP and candidates from the People’s Party and Green Party finished behind.

by newcomer Mark Carney. The Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, followed close behind, getting 41.4% of the votes and winning 144 seats, making this election one of the closest in recent memory. In addition, the Bloc Québécois picked up 6.4% of the votes, claiming 23 seats, while the NDP, led by Jagmeet Singh, got 6.3% and won
