Hey there, time traveller!

THE Tories have nominated Kaur Sidhu to run in The Maples provincial riding.
Sidhu is a one-time New Democrat who was fined in 2012 by the Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association.
Sidhu won the nomination Saturday over two other candidates in a meeting packed with 1,000 party members.
Sidhu previously ran unsuccessfully for the Conservatives in the Rossmere riding in the 2011 provincial election.
Before that, he’d been an NDP backroomer, advising cabinet minister Steve Ashton during Ashton’s first of two runs at the provincial NDP leadership.
And he was embroiled in a controversy over the NDP nomination in The Maples in the 2007 provincial election, amid allegations the NDP was offering him incentives not to contest the nomination.
A pharmacist, Sidhu was fined in 2012 for transferring prescriptions from his former pharmacy to his new one.
The Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association fined Sidhu $4,000 and ordered him to pay another $16,000 toward the cost of its investigation.
