Unless something changes after I go to bed, it looks like the Canadian Government will look almost exactly the same as it did before the polls opened.
It seems that as Canadians, we just don't give a shit.
Only 58% of the population (who were eligible) voted. That means that almost half the country don't even care who's running the joint - as long as we can still drink Molson and eat Poutine, everything's Ok.
Something's wrong with that picture.
This was the year I heard everyone talking about voting strategically. It's great in theory, but it falls short when the strategy for 42% of voters is to sit at home and do nothing.
If you don't vote, you can't bitch.
And that's the most important thing of all.
Later.
