Election Night in Canada

Here it is. Election Day.

As Rick Mercer so eloquently put it, the day on which there's nothing left for the candidates to do but get into the fetal position and wait for what happens.

I proudly cast my ballot today, secure in the knowledge that while I may be a little drop in a big pond, but dammit, at least someone, somewhere, will know that there is at least one Liberal in Alberta. (Gregg won't tell me who he voted for. )

So in my riding of Calgary-Nose Hill, Diane Ablonczy has won the past 5 federal elections under the Reform, Canadian Alliance, and Conservative banners. Last election, she won by 28,372 votes. This is the woman who was recently quoted in the newspaper saying that Preston Manning is her political hero.





Seriously.

I take solace in the knowledge that while we're deep down in Conservative territory here, the rest of the country is not so cut and dry. I will definitely be glued to the tv, hoping for an upset... or perhaps a coalition government??
