Lots of Canadian election coverage today -- no surprise. The surprise is the mandate the Liberals got, at least as compared to even the most recent polling. Globe and Mail story: Canadians give Liberals a minority; 'We must do better,' Martin pledges. Ironically, the electorate did exactly what its sentiments have been for the past three or four months. The government has done a good job on the whole but was on the verge of general corruption. So, they give 'em a "flick on the pee-pee," as a friend of mine likes to say.
Just goes to prove the hack politician's prize saying, "The only poll that counts is on election day." As noted in this Toronto Star item: Results confound pollsters.
