That's odd, I didn't see any voters whooping.

But his minority is so slight . . . I can't see any of the other parties working with him on anything more than on an issue-by-issue basis. But I was also wrong with my "Liberal minority" prediction so we'll see. I don't think any of the parties can afford to have another election for a while so maybe they'll play nice. And one Liberal MP hardly lets us count ourselves as "Redmonton" (federally at least).

I'm sad Linda Duncan lost (32% of the vote to Mr. No-Show's 41%), though not surprised. One of the people from her office called me early January and I said I was probably going to be voting for her and when I hadn't voted as of 7pm I guess they called here, then showed up at my house, then tried to get my Dad to give them my cell phone number. (before you all jump down my throat - I did vote).

Anyone want to guess how long this government will last?

Oh yeah, and a whooping 4% more of eligible voters voted this time (up to 64.9%)

boo, I don't like the look of this
That's right, the ken doll look alike has been elected minority government leader. bugger.




stupid blue alberta
We can't even stake claim to "Redmonton" right now

YEEEAAAAAAAAA

Yeah, Jsese: I say play the game and then come in time to see Akron. You DEFINITELY will not want to miss that. You'll have plenty more chances to see Cadence anyway.

Also: tickets for Moneen and Choke went on sale last week. I should probably get on that.

Speaking about voting...

Squashed like a fast flying, gold coloured bug

Well I lost against Overlord, now it's loser division time! Against some box dude.

Can you clearly cancel out a vote with more than two parties running? I suppose you vote for one of the top two contenders. Plus parties do get money for each vote. And some parties need the cash more than others.

Also for anyone planning to spoil a vote. (Personally I think getting out and spoiling a vote is more legitimate than sitting at home...)

Beck & Keri - sorry I couldn't come out to help you guys out last night - my Dad was having a thing here that night and I was sort of expected to be around. Hope you like your new place.

Well, if you're still undecided for tomorrow, I have your answer. The information that will make your vote. The official Election 2006 "What Server Are They Running" index!

*Of note is that the Green Party is hosted in Edmonton, and that the Bloc is irrelevant.

I liked that quote from the Sun article you put up Par:

... Mike Cardinal said yesterday he doesn't think he has to say he's sorry for what happened.

"I don't think it's necessary," he told the Sun. "I think the right decision was made. We could have fought the case and dragged it on for 10 years."

What a beautiful way to put out the fire.
