I voted in yesterday's federal election. Yes, this qualifies as news today. Here are a few stats about me as a voter (I put them out there because they kind of surprised me):
Percentage of federal elections in which I have voted since reaching age of majority: 40% (2 of 5, I think. I can't remember if I voted in 2004.)
Percentage of times I have voted for the winner in an election: 50% (1 of 2)
Percentage of times I have voted NDP: 0%(!) (This is remarkable to me and I feel is a reflection of the candidates I have had to choose from.)
Percentage of times I have voted for a candidate who got absolutely waxed by the winner: 50% (Laurier-Sainte Marie is solidly behind M. Duceppe to the tune of 54%.)
Percentage of times I have been disappointed by the results of the election, various reasons: 100%
