Looks a little bit like here. We have our election next Sunday. And I think there is a new government on the way to take over !

There are some interesting comparisons between the Canadian and German systems. We have similar numbers of major parties, but Canadians dislike proportional representation and coalitions. So the outgoing government won more seats than any other party but not more votes, and it survived by pleasing the third and fourth parties.

Good luck on Sunday. I'm certainly hoping for some luck today.

I see you got a new government, Ulrich. I hhope it will be to your liking.

Decisions, decisions..!!

I'm impressed with the number of abbreviations you've used in the description! DIIK what they all mean!

HAND :-)

Thanks, Keith.

PPC = People's Party of Canada
CPC = Conservative Party of Canada
QC = Quebec
BQ = Bloc Québécois
UCP = United Conservative Party, a provincial party that forms the government of Alberta and is headed by a former CPC cabinet minister
AB = Alberta
WE = apparently nothing at all; it's a charity that paid members of the prime minister's family a quarter of a million dollars for services some have found negligible. Then they got a big contract from the government, furore ensued, they left Canada.
LPC = Liberal Party of Canada
NDP = New Democratic Party

Parties have Canada in their names to distinguish them from their provincial branches.

I doubt that's cleared things up, though.

Thanks John..............clear as mud now :-)))

About all that questions up there, I will state an absolutely ... maybe!

The picture corresponds very well with this first part of your description.

It is said, it was Daidalos who did something very similar some years ago.

A very good point, Leon. So much of politics over here has devolved into a search for the beast through a maze of one's own construction.

Happy voting! I dread to think how big the ballot paper is with all that lot ...

If you really want to be entertained we could always send Boris to you (please, pretty please)

There are only five candidates in my riding, Maggs, so not a big ballot. Only one fringe party chose to run.

I don't know about sending Boris here. Our outgoing government took the unusual step of publicly complaining about the incompetence of his trade negotiators.

Fabulous election day capture and perspective! Stay well!

Thanks, William, and stay dry.

You sure made it all look tacky! I'll vote for U Haul, myself.

It looks tacky in real life, Bob. Anyway, it seems we went through all this to end up with the same party standings as before. Of course, when I say "all this" I mean five weeks -- we have hit-and-run elections here.

Thank you for the pertinent information and picture, John.

You're welcome, José.

Colourful election signs, looking very similar to those here. I've not heard any details of provinces, but I gather from tonight's news that your preference has been delivered nationally, John.

It's almost as if the election was all a dream, George. We have to have a provincial election by next June, so maybe that will be more interesting. Our premier is Rob Ford's brother, after all.

All sorted now John. You have your wish I think. You might consider entering this in the CWP or similar SPC or even the HFF but not the HBM groups with the approval of the IMA of course :))

Cheers, Herb

And of the RCMP, Herb, which may depend on me charging HST.. Cheers to you, too.

Electrical elections !

But not electrifying, though, Léopold.

Your photo shows clearly that elections time brings about more outdoor obstacles to blind pedestrians.
