Canadian Election Thread! Too close to call.
Well, for those who are interested in the Canadian elections, feel free to comment. It could be an interesting evening, as this is the first time in a while where the Conservatives have a shot at power. I mean, how could you not vote for the party of Belinda Stronach?

'Exquisite ambiguity' in Canada poll
27 June 2004
By Daniel Lak
BBC News
After a bruising five-week campaign, Canadians will be voting in a general election on Monday with little or no certainty about their next government.
Mr Martin called early elections just months after taking office
The country's two major political parties, the left-of-centre Liberals, and the more right-wing Conservatives, are neck-and-neck in every major opinion poll.
As veteran political columnist John Ibbitson wrote recently in the Globe and Mail newspaper: "The people of Canada will elect an exquisitely ambiguous parliament. No-one will know for sure who will be prime minister."
Or - perhaps more accurately - which of two men will be the head of government.
The choices are the incumbent Paul Martin, a Liberal, and Stephen Harper of the Conservative Party of Canada.
Waiting in the wings as potential kingmakers in a hung parliament are Jack Layton of the left-wing New Democrats, and Gilles Duceppe whose Bloc Quebecois works for the eventual separation of Quebec from the Canadian federation.
Whether a hung parliament would lead to a minority government or a coalition is again uncertain.
