Good political news at last...

Interesting headline in today's Globe & Mail: Advance polls reveal the unexpected: Voters turning out in record numbers.

Cool. This was certainly the case in my riding.

"Connecting through traditional means and social media, Canadians appear to be siezed by the dramatic shift in momentum that has vaulted Jack Layton's New Democrats well above their also-ran status." Whatever demographic that describes, I think I fit. The article also refers to the current state of Canadian politics as "uncharted territory".

I hope Stephen Harper is worrying. Of course, it makes sense that those who want change would be eager enough to vote in advance polls, while those who want to vote the way their great-grandfathers did wouldn't care. But still. It's good news however I look at it.

Finally, the election looks interesting.
