...Barlow, and Emmett Patrick Murphy (“Murph”) came together as Dinosaur, adopting junior status later due to copyright issues. J and Lou, who had recently broken up their hardcore band Deep Wound, picked up Murph as a drummer, allowing J to emerge from behind the drum kit and to take up lead guitar and vocals.

The election season will also uncomfortably straddle the winter holidays, which is why the campaign has been lengthened from five weeks to eight. But the clincher, for most Canadians, is that they're being asked to participate in a potentially nasty campaign at a time when they have never been angrier at federal politicians.
