April 28 is federal Election Day in Canada.

I called it Erection Day in the Subject line since one
main focus of all the platforms is home building.

   In 1994 I was part of a team inspecting voting machines before election
day.  The back wall of the wharehouse was covered with porn. I thereafter
referred to the Board of Elections as "Brats of Erection". Well, until a good
buddy became chair in 2001.

Yes, I voted for the NDP candidate Brenda Walsh in
the Cape Spear riding, but as I expected, the popular
Liberal candidate Tom Osborne won.

On a national level, Mark Carney’s Liberals will
form the next government but it is not clear
yet whether it will be a minority government
(fewer than 172 of the 373 seats) or majority
government (172 or more).

And the issue of Trump’s attacks on Canada
was more important than the home building issue.
