The kids said something like “look, they have annoying yard signs just like we do”.

LOL!

Thanks for the good wishes.

[ColoCdn]

I’ll be watching with great interest.

[Bahbah]

Let’s see if this works.

Thank you, Bahbah.

You’re good!

I need to go vote, and do a few errands.

I’ll be back in a few hours.

[Bahbah]

Sometimes I just amaze myself. LOL.

We do not have exit polls in Canada.

I wish that I could say the same for us.

Prayers and good wishes for our cousins to the north.

Do the Liberals/Socialists/Commies in Canada have ACORN to help commit fraud like the Democrats/Liberals/Socialists/Commies do here in the States?

[Army Air Corps]

On second thought, that might give them the idea for a mobile voting unit so they don’t have to budge.

Sssshhhh! Don't give the libs/commies down here any ideas! ;-)

Maybe a couple days of rising stocks will raise the tide for Harper.

This election campaign was mucked up by the economic news.

He may end up still having a minority government.

The Left is split four ways so I have no doubt the Tories will end up with the most seats.

Hey, look at that map! BC is RED!

[cookcounty]

Go Harper!!!

This guy is like the poor little Dutch kid with his thumb in the dike. He even looks like a little Dutch kid.

Apparently everyone voting in Canada needs to show photo ID and proof of address to register (if they did not register when paying taxes), and then photo ID at the polling station.

"Sometimes I honestly wish we had a qusi-parliamentary system here."

Me, too. I'm conservative, but I nonetheless would love to see an abolition (by constitutional amendment, of course) of the electoral college, and there are some things about the parliamentary system that are excellent.

[Army Air Corps]

Sounds like a decent system. ACORN would hate it.

Scenic Parkway is low-displacement motorbike heaven. I love going in through Lundy’s Lane, up the Parkway past the whirlpool, through the old battlefields then lunch in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

[Zeppelin]

Just this summer, the girlfriend and I went to Niagara for our first time...beautiful. And the drive up to Niagara-on-the-Lake...wow. We toured a vineyard up there too.

[JudyinCanada]

Oops - sorry. Where was my head? :^)

[Natchez Hawk]

Forgive my ignorance, are the Conservatives the only party on the right?

I know there use to be a libertarian/conservative party based largely in the West, am I correct that they folded into the Conservatives?

[ponygirl]

I wish we could get rid of exit polling here. If I get asked by an exit poller, I’m going to tell them I wrote in Mitt Romney.
