Call me the bellwether voter. In protest, I voted for Mario. And he's almost won. Almost.
In my riding, the Liberal still got 82% of the vote, but the Greens have come second, and the ADQ, MY PARTY, is third. This appears to be the only riding in the whole province that has voted along traditional lines.
I've never ever come close to having a winning vote before. I am a life-long NDP loser on the Federal side, and provincially, I always vote for a fringe party. Except this time around, my fringe party turned out to be not-so-much on the fringe. I'm still in shock.
My work colleague called me. She was confused by these results. I told her I voted ADQ (in protest, remember). She was stunned. "But I thought you were a leftist" she sputtered. I'm a Right Wing Socialist, I said. A rare bird indeed.

I can't believe you voted for super mario! doesn't he want private health care?
are you sure not-so-super-stephen h. isn't next???
ADQ had very little effect in my neck of the woods...PQ won by a landslide...You know what that means? Gay bars within walking distance for all. Yay!

(That was part of their platform, wasn't it???)
JAW, Are you in Hochelaga? I see they had a Marxist-Leninist on the ballot. For some reason, that Party never does very well.
I had everything on my ballot. I almost voted for Bloc Pot, only because the guy's name in my riding was...are you ready?...Starbuck Leroidurock.
How can you not want to vote for a guy with a name like (fake as it might be!)
