Which way goes the vote?
It's election night and not long before polls close here in Ontario. I hope you all got out to vote. Even if one doesn't like the choices, I think it's always important to at least show up, and then spoil your ballot with profanity directed toward the worst of them.
This time around I did mark an appropriately crafted "X" on the ticket though. I had my choice made a week ago and now it's a matter of waiting to see how it goes both locally and nationally. While I've never been one for watching sports on the television, a good election night will keep me glued to the set without fail.
I can't predict the outcome with any certainty, but I suspect Harper's going to gain another minority. Despite the losses to manufacturing, there's a big buzz about the tories here in Ontario and that'll likely balance losses expected in Quebec. At the final tally, I'll estimate the break down in seats to be something like:
How confident am I in those numbers? Not very. It's anyone's game this time.Conservatives ..... 122
Liberals ................ 101
New Democrats ..... 53
Bloc Quebecois ...... 31
Green ....................... 1
UPDATE: It's going to be a Conservative minority, but I'm way off on those numbers.
