| Joelcool7 said: I actually worked for Elections Canada this year. Man was that a royal pain in the butt. Had to get up at 5:30 and stand from 6-7:30 with no lunch or bathroom breaks. Then I was stuck at the polling station till all the votes were counted. But I'm pretty happy considering I voted Conservative and they won a majority. Yayz its awsome I was totally caught off guard. I expected a minority Conservative Government. I was 90% sure that Jack Layton was going to over throw the Government with a Liberal/NDP/Bloc coalition. I was so sure I was going to wake up to Prime Minister Jack Layton addressing the country with his coalition Government. Considering he himself said a coalition Government was a democratic right and in the constitution. But now that we have a Conservative Majority I don't have to worry about that till 2015. Then again I would rather see an NDP Government then a Liberal. |
Wow, that sucks. I've worked multiple US elections, and we don't have to deal with that. All votes are tabulated electronically, which meant the total time it took to count votes was ~30 minutes while we packed the machines up. For food, we usually had family either bring us something, or merely brought something early to keep. Did have to get there earlier/stay later than you (got there at 5:30, opened at 6, and stayed till 8 at night).
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
