It’s election day here in the fine province of Ontario; if you are a resident, please get out and vote. Maybe, just maybe, the new government won’t be as callous as the last.

Update: with the polls closed now, I’ve got CBC on the radio and its site loaded in one of my Mozilla tabs, The Globe and Mail in another, and Pulse24’s snapshot of my riding in a pop-up. The Star, however, is using the Canadian Press’ impressive real-time Flash-based application to deliver all the results which I’m running full-screen. None seem to be offering an RSS feed of the results — an seemingly ideal technology for this kind of thing.

Results: Ontario’s given the Liberals a huge majority, reduced the Conservatives to a tiny opposition, and practically eliminated the NDP. Let’s hope the Liberals really do bring a change, and a positive one at that.

The former Vice President of the United States, Al Gore, might be buying Newsworld International — the American cable channel that airs CBC’s news and was, once, the foreign arm of the Mother Corp.
