Well, it's election day here in the Great White North, and the weather is fine all across the nation, so no one should have that as an excuse for not getting out to the poll.
Who will win? Going it, it looked like the Liberals would get back in again, but probably with another minority. However, the Conservatives have remarkably run an error free campaign, and look like they could be poised to win either a minority or a majority.
The latter should occur if Quebec gets on the Conservative bandwagon, and there were signs of that during the campaigning. The Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe (sp?) went from saying they would take over 50 seats in Quebec to we'll just do our best. Holy backing off, Batman!
Personally, I'm happy to see a change at this point, although the Conservatives are still a question mark for me. I'm not fond of populist politics, which is rather like fundamentalist religion if you ask me, and the Conservatives developed out of the Reform/Canadian Alliance parties that were populist.
Should make for interesting TV viewing tonight.
After I watch 24.
