In Corner Brook, they are apparently called penders, after the big sooky former mayor of the great city of the west.
Rather than be gracious in defeat, Charles Pender decided to moan and whine a bit:
“It wasn’t a one-on-one campaign,” Pender said. “I had other forces I had to deal with ... Mr. Greeley had a definite strategy with the support of Gerry Byrne’s campaign team, which is a formidable opponent, and Eddie Joyce bringing people to the polls all day in Curling.”
Pender must get the sooks from some of the company he’s been keeping since 2001.
