I didn't vote, but don't panic, I'm american. Not sure why I follow canadian politics so much, but hey, I agree, stop harper. Looks like liberals are going to take it - they're even predicting a majority, which would be great. Still a chance they don't quite make it, it's pretty close.

Empirically, the opposite holds: The median voter is less biased than the median nonvoter. One of the main predictors of turnout, education, substantially increases economic literacy. The other two—age and income—have little effect on economic beliefs.
Though it sounds naive to count on the affluent to look out for the interests of the needy, that is roughly what the data advise. All kinds of voters hope to make society better off, but the well educated are more likely to get the job done. Selective turnout widens the gap between what the public gets and what it wants. But it narrows the gap between what the public gets and what it needs.

edit: I can't wait until PM Justin Trudeau and President Bernie Sanders join together in Christmas of 2016 to finally remove food from Crawl too, pubby.
edit2: also n.b. Mr. Trudeau has one of those faces that is handsomer from some angles than others, huh?
