It's Election Day in Canada

Harper teams up with the Rob Ford.

"Here's where the Harper campaign finds itself today. Hungry for votes in the Greater Toronto Area, they embraced the populist might of Rob and Doug Ford, welcoming them this week to a campaign event in the Fords' stomping ground of Etobicoke, arranging to share the spotlight with them on Saturday at a rally for the Prime Minister in Toronto."

What could possibly go wrong?

Just finished John Oliver's take of the elections on his show earlier. The last bit with Mike Myers on the election and Harper is priceless, worth the 5K and six months in jail who knows.

It's looking like the end of the Conservative's 10 year rule. I guess we'll really know early tomorrow morning.

At this point it looks very promising. The Liberals have nearly a 2:1 advantage in seats, 63 to 33. This is out of the 170 seats required for a majority.

This is beginning to look like a blowout! Right now it's 105 to 62. The liberals look set to gain an outright majority.

Make it Molson in honor of Quebec/Justin Trudeau to be politically correct.
It may just be symbolic since they are now owned by Coors and Anheuser-Busch respectively.

Excellent beer and the brewery was founded by a woman.
