I'd be pretty sure this was easy enough to look up, but boy oh boy what a mandate, eh. And to think that a teeny little 48% comment could sink an entire campaign.

If we delve into these numbers, they look suspiciously contrived. The casual Canadian might figure two out'a three folks are anti lib, but the numbers don't quite add up. It looks to me like your election officials are not giving full weight to minority, lbg-mouse and the female vote.

I think cback was on to something, when you say Canada 'won', there's more to it than meets the eye, hmmm.
