Perhaps what they need is a missing person's bureau on the Hill



The results of Monday's General Election have provided for a wide range of thoughts on the new class of Parliament Hill, some of the candidates in the election perhaps never thought that they would find their way to Parliament Hill, mere cannon fodder for the machine that is party politics.

However, it seems a funny thing happened on the way to the ballot box, more than a few of them suddenly are going to be forced to make a few changes in their immediate future.

Then again, some it seem, may still be stuck in the era of a peek a boo candidacy, elected but perhaps not universally aware of the need to actually make contact with those that elected them.

These are some of those stories:

Globe and Mail-- Lethbridge's 'Man Who Wasn't There' heads to Ottawa as Tory MP
Globe and Mail-- Rookie Quebec NDP MP missing in action before, and after, election
Globe and Mail-- Liberal candidate challenges election of absentee New Democrat
National Post-- NDP MP Brosseau cleared by Elections Canada
Globe and Mail-- Cone of silence tightens on Tories
