Nice outfit McMurdo. You look great.

**Ra Hammer** · 14th October 08, 08:59 PM

Looks great! We should all make a point of wearing the kilt to vote. Wish I'd thought of it!

**Riverkilt** · 14th October 08, 09:52 PM

I love voting kilted. A sharp turn out for sure....and good on you for not replying to the poll guy, "You know you're not in Israel."

Amazing how insensitive one culture can be to another.

Ron
Who's a vocal voter, "Take that!" "Enough of you sir!!" "You had your turn and botched it, I'm voting for your rival!!"

No worries, George. The new boss is the old boss.

Good on you, Ron. I might have said "Palestine" instead of "Israel" just to twist the knife.

It's still Stephen Harper (or 'Steve' as Dubya calls him)

Do the pundits do the same thing up there that they do down here - a district/region/province where the majority vote for a certain party becomes known as "blue" or "red" or "green"?
What happens if there's an equal four-party split? Does the province go "plaid"?

Actually we don't vote for a Prime Minister like you vote for a President. We vote for our riding's candidate, most votes in that riding win a seat and the leader of the party with most seats becomes Prime Minister. Unfortunatly, due to population dispersement, Ontario pretty much always decides the new government!
