Okay; I'm already bored with the Canadian election...

[brooklynite]

Polls have been closed for 24 minutes and nothing's happening. How do they expect to keep an audience?

[Drale]

1. Wheres Canada?

:dilemma::rofl:

[FarLeftFist]

2. And Canadian newspaper msg boards aren't opening for comments

Until 10 pm as in accordance with the election laws. It could be days until this thing pans out...

[snagglepuss]

5. Because Canada has optical scanning the final results will be announced shortly after BC polls close

6. Optical scanning?

How can you trust that new-fangled technology? (you certainly can't here...) What happened to parchment ballots filled out with quill pens?

[snagglepuss]

8. LOL. Actually it is very primitve - just a yard high cardboard screen sitting on a table

and a pencil to mark an x beside the candidates name. What surprised me were the lack of scrutineers.

3. I loves me some Canada

it has been my favorite place for 20 + years

BTW I loves me some Canadians deux

4. It's pretty much a given that a bunch of Canadians will win

It's like watching the curling championships.

7. But were they actually born in Canada?

You know they don't have to be right? I mean it's fuckin' anarchy up there, no birth certificates, no "but where does he go to church". Bunch of godless socialists.

;-)

9. Meh, they are ruled by Queen Elizabeth, who is not Canadian

They are just as likely to bow down to Lord Xenu. Who can tell what those frostbitten zombies are likely to do next.
