Canadian Election Results. Today is election day in Canada! Will the Liberals stay in power or will there be new government instead? I am not Canadian and I do not live in Canada but I will be watching the CBC tonight to see how this election turns out.
I have always liked watching the British elections too. I love the Official Monster Raving Loony Party candidates who stand in the line with the other candidates as the results are announced. Canada does not have the Raving Loony Party but I guess the Marijuana Party of Canada comes close.
The blogged history site of the day has a good overview of prior Canadian election results going back to 1867. The results of the 2004, 2000 and 1997 elections are available with the results broken down by province.
