Election Day in Canada

October 14, 2008

Well Election Day in Canada has arrived. After a whrilwind 38 day campaign, it’s now all up to the voters. Stephen Harper enters today on an upswing of support, Layton has it easy because he can make promises knowing full well he’ll never have to implement them. Dion is just a lack luster candidate who’s days are numbered, it’s hard to be the leader of a party when you can’t effectively communicate with a majority of your population. Elizabeth May is there sucking the votes from the liberals. Will the Greens get a seat? There best chance is probably in May’s home riding. May was a pleasent surprise this election, the only down side was her whinny debate performance.

I went out and cast my ballot at 9:45 this morning, so it’s all over except for the waiting. A few more hours and we should see if we have a Conservative minority or majority. A majority would be nice, parliament might actually acheive something.
