Voting Day

 Just returned from voting. Surprised by the lineup. When the polls opened there were at least two dozen people in line. When I exited, there were still twenty outside waiting to get in, not counting the lines inside the polling place. This is despite the fact that there seem to be no real lightning rod issues in the election, the platforms of the major parties are very similar, this riding is not competitive in an ordinary election, and the Conservative candidate was forced to withdraw before voting day.

Usually a heavy turnout is supposed to help the Liberals. But it might also betoken a “throw the rascals out” mood.

Late polls predict a Liberal, minority.
