#3 Dunno about the stats - seems a little top heavy of the Conservative outcome. TO land seems to have been sliding back Liberal in the last 3-4 days.

We'll see tonight. Can only hope.

And seafrious, there is no American translation. Nothing as stupid as re-electing criminals who overtax, dump that into their freinds pockets, and call it "balanced buget" defies translation.

I can give it to ya in Quebecois - "Foutes-moi, il y a de la change dans l'air, Marcel? Tu sens ca?"
