2007 Provincial Election
Although some media initially reported that Foulds was re-entering politics in the 2007 Ontario election as the New Democratic candidate in Thunder Bay—Superior North, the candidate in 2007 was not the former MPP, but a cousin of his with the same first name.
He appears on the RLS adverts as a poker player in the Riverland. It was widely believed to have been Nic Tubb who played the role of Jim, but this was not the case.

Famous quotes containing the words provincial and/or election:
“With respect to a true culture and manhood, we are essentially provincial still, not metropolitan,—mere Jonathans. We are provincial, because we do not find at home our standards; because we do not worship truth, but the reflection of truth; because we are warped and narrowed by an exclusive devotion to trade and commerce and manufacturers and agriculture and the like, which are but means, and not the end.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the past, as now, Haiti’s curse has been her politicians. There are still too many men of influence in the country who believe that a national election is a mandate from the people to build themselves a big new house in Petionville and Kenscoff and a trip to Paris.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
