I gave up watching the election results come in around 11:00 last night. By that point, it was fairly obvious that the Liberals were going to get a minority government. It's interesting, though -- I don't really feel like Canada has won, but I do feel like it couldn't win. Personally, I don't think Martin makes a very good prime minister at all, but neither did any of the other candidates. Whatever the case, we're stuck with Martin now until he either gets his butt kicked out (which can and often does happen to minority governments) or until the next election.

I was calling my vote a wasted vote before I even entered the school where the polling stations were located. I had decided I couldn't bring myself to vote for the Liberals or the Conservatives, and the Green Party seems pretty useless to me. So I cast my vote for the NDP. Since the NDPer running in my riding didn't even bother to put out signs until about a week-and-a-half ago, it was clear the NDP wasn't even taking the riding I live in seriously. Still, at least he got more votes than the Green Party.
