That was quite exciting.
Left work, voted (at Victoria Hall, for some reason they weren't using the Unitarian Church, but it was on the way home so it was all good). I didn't even have to line up. I went over to Kelly and Jean's and they fed me and we watched mainly the French CBC broadcast, although switching over to the English occasionally (like when Gilles Duceppe wouldn't shut up, and when we hoped to catch Rick Mercer, and the long dry spell between all the votes counted in Atlantic Canada and polls closing in Quebec-Ontario-Manitoba-Saskatchewan-Alberta, during which all the commentators started to run out of things to say). I have nothing coherent to say -- I ran out of steam at midnight and Kelly drove me home and I fell into bed and I still feel groggy -- so here are the fragments.
Lucienne Robillard's back in my riding. I wasn't really worried, but I'm glad my vote hurt nobody and helped the Greens out. (Yes,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monkeycommando, I went with your strategy.)
I really wish the Liberals hadn't gone so negative. I think they could've probably beaten the Conservatives without that.
We seem to still be really pissed off with the Liberals in this province.
The NDP were up to 29 leading or elected at one point and Kelly and I got all excited, but it seems to have dropped rather drastically.
Yay Green Party! It was especially exciting when the CBC did riding-by-riding results with the top three candidates and you'd occasionally see their logo up on screen.
The Marijuana Party seems to have thrashed the Marxist-Leninists in every riding where they both ran candidates -- in Quebec, anyway, I haven't checked the whole country.
Low point of the English broadcast was probably Peter Mansbridge explaining the historical significance of one of the Parliament Building staircases. That was right before the polls closed in the middle of the country and they'd completely run out of things to say.
