Canada 2011 Official Thread

[Smid]

I largely agree with your predictions, although a few changes.

If one were a cruel prankster, one could have a lot of fun on Twitter for the next few hours.

Would it still be illegal if the information you were spreading was false? Good question.

I think Rick Mercer posed this exact question yesterday...

Ah, thanks Max/MB.

In other news, Harper broke the law today by making campaign statements on the radio.

That's silly.  If that's the case, so did Ignatieff:
"This election doesn't belong to the politicians, it doesn't belong to me; it belongs to the people of Canada; and I hope everybody will vote today and, of course, I want everybody to vote Liberal."

And probably Layton and Duceppe, too.  

Canada seems to be the king of silly election day laws.

I'm wondering if that law and the one prohibiting broadcast of election results breach the charter's protection of freedom of speech. It would be interesting to see what would happen if those laws were challenged.

Don't know if this is the best place but couldn't think of anywhere better, other than starting a new thread.

Nanos has released a poll showing the Liberals back in second place nationally.
