Election Night in Canada
Polls just closed from Quebec to Alberta. Some lines in the GTA still hours long at closing. Should be an interesting night. Ceasar time.

Just called on CBC. Trudeau and the Liberals retain government. Minority or Majority still up in the air.

Also called on CTV. So much for the long night I expected.

That won't happen.
Got to say, the idea of calling the election while people are still standing in line kind of bothers me biggly. |

It was indeed unnecessary, as the result shows......just kicking the can down the Yellow brick road

No larger mandate for Trudeau. Still a minority government where all significant legislation requires compromise between parties. No single party with the balance of power. |

Very short wait here on the Island with the usual efficient and orderly process of voting. Not all sunshine as there was a lady a hundred metres or so from the polling place with a piece of blue foam that had written on it: "Nazi Canada Rising", I wanted to stop and speak with her but my wife put the kibosh on that as we were expected elsewhere. I had to smile when I saw the Marxist-Lenninist Party as the first choice on the ballet along with several other choices...Canada still sets the standard for Democracy in North America. |

Trudeau said this was the most important election since 1945. It wasn’t. As it stands, if a year from now Trudeau is ahead in the polls, he might do it again. I will admit that I am thrilled with my newly elected member of parliament. |

I myself have always liked minority government and the fact there needs to be compromise between the parties. |
