The winning Liberal got 44% of the vote in my riding. That seems quite low considering how the Libs have traditionally done here. I guess I'm not the only person tired of seeing the Libs coast in this area.
In other news, the Marxist-Leninist candidate got: 187 votes. Hmm. This is interesting to me for two reasons: 1) some of these people are actual Marxist-Leninists! They exist! and 2) even those who are not real MLs cared enough about voting to go the polling place and mark a ballot. Good for them.
10 million eligible Canadians did not vote yesterday. Shame! I don't want us to turn into the US. People in other countries are willing to die for this voting crap/right. We should respect that.

and therefore harper's at the helm
I went to go vote directly after work...only to find out that I didn't have the correct identification with me (stupid new rules)...so I went home, exhausted from work, thinking "screw this! I ain't voting...the bloc's only going to win anyway."
Then I thought, "hmm, what would Nanuk think if she ever found out I didn't go vote."...So, I put my f**king shoes back on, got my stupid f**king identification and returned.
The two drinks I had before leaving did help to relax me...I just hope I wasn't too tipsy and drew my x out of the allowable circle space.
JAW fan
