O Canada

Their election was only six weeks ago. But already, it looks like they'll have a change of government. Why?

Simple. That's what a parliamentary democracy is all about. Larger parties & smaller parties can form coalitions to oust incumbent plurality-but-still-minority governments if they're not working.

Wow, if only America could be a parliamentary democracy... ;-)

Election Night Open Thread!

It's election night, so let's watch what's happening. But wait, where is the election? Why, it's in Canada, doncha know! Yes, believe it or not, Canada also has elections!

So sit back, enjoy the results from the land up north, and discuss. :-)
