Ya I just got home from voting and saw this. clicked it thinking it was Canadian. I wasn't joking, just trying to be informative.
Then again seeing how heavily im downvoted. Guess I touched on a rough subject.
- Volundr 5y agoI think the US elections have left a pretty serious sore spot that's going to be a long time in healing. I suspect your comment was being read as sarcastically implying that the same thing was happening in Canada as well. Especially since (and correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't really kept up on Canadian politics) I've gotten the impression that the USA drama has crept north, or at least Canada is going through a somewhat similar phase.
- sleepysysadmin 5y agoWell the election results are in. Liberals picked up 46.7% of the seats in parliament off 32.2% of the vote. Highly over represented. Conservatives marginally won another election but won't form the government. They got 35% of the seats from 34% of the vote. NDP got 7% of the seats off 17.7% of the vote. Highly under represented. PPC got 0% of the seats off 6% of the vote. Highly under represented. Roughly a million Canadians are not represented in government. Greens got 0.5% of the seats off 2.3% of the vote. Though their leader/campaign was poor. There are some serious discrepancies in these numbers.
