Today is Federal Election Day in Canada!

Today is a federal election in Canada--May 2, 2011

Please get out and vote!

Update: May 2-10:15PM EDT--Looks like another Conservative Minority Government--but the big story is the surge of the NDP especially in the province of Quebec!  NDP the official Opposition wiping out both the Liberals and Bloc Quebecois!  Close to 90 seats!

Iggy is in danger of losing his seat in the race in his riding of Etobicoke-Lakeshore

Update: May 3, 2011-8:25am

All is said and done with the 2011 Canadian Federal Election:

  • Conservatives have won a majority mandate
  • NDP are the official opposition winning just over 100 seats in the House of Commons--historic
  • Liberals lost many seats including many of those in Toronto where they had dominated, including the seat of their leader, Michael Ignatieff
  • The Quebec-based BQ party was also decimated--their leader did not win his seat back and he also resigned
  • The federal Green Party won their first seat ever
