I think I read somewhere...

...that both Iraq and Afghanistan had better turnout rates for their recent first-time elections... than we do here in Canada...
Across Ontario, almost 76,000 fewer people cast their ballots in the three-days of advance polling which ended this past Monday. There were 575,605 this year compared to 651,193, about 2 1/2 years ago.

And across Canada, there were a total of 101,786 fewer people compared to 2006: 1,459,253 went to the advance polls compared to 1,561,039.
Seems folks may not be as fired up and freaked out as the MSM swears we all are.

Funny how that works.
