Conservatives take the lead in popular vote!!!
Yes, the percentage is 33.9% as against 33.8%. for the Conservatives. So almost exactly counting the other parties, 7 out of ten Canadians voted against him and his party. Still the popular vote does not necessarily win in a parliamentary election.
Complicated stuff ahead when the parliament opens. I can almost hear the house speaker rasp in his delivery- "ORDERR. ORDERR"
