I love you, Marc Mayrand, but …

Can you -- or anyone else -- give me one good reason why polling hours should be staggered for tonight’s byelections? I mean, does it really matter to the people of Vancouver Quadra if we get the results for Toronto Centre two hours before their polls close?

I understand - well, grudgingly understand, at least - the reason behind the byzantine polling schedules during a general election -- BC gets cranky when the networks call it twenty minutes after the Ontario results come in -- but this is just silly.
