lightcastleHey Canada, it's Election Day!
For those of you outside Canada, please see this chart from Threehundredeight.com.
On the eve of the vote, ThreeHundredEight.com projects that the Conservative Party will win another minority government, with the New Democrats forming the Official Opposition. The Liberals will place third while the Bloc Québécois will be relegated to the fourth position in the House of Commons.
The big png chart? Look in Quebec, and look at Laurier - Ste-Marie:
Bloc Quebecois: 37.5
New Democratic Party: 37.3
Yes, that's spitting distance of upsetting Gilles Duceppe - The leader of the Bloc - in my riding.
It's awesome. The Bloc and the Liberals are freaking out as people are going NDP. If people actually show to the polls in these numbers, we're seeing an election that may just change the dynamic in Canadian politics for a generation. (If the NDP can capitalize on it.)
It's making for an oddly historic birthday weekend for me.
