While I can't really say I've been following this much, I do think it was worth mentioning that it is election day today (as in a national election - big stuff). Back on March 25th it was announced we'd have an election this year because the conservative party in power failed to create a majority. So after a few months of campaigning, today is the day. While I don't yet understand the detailed workings of Canadian government, I did want to share a few facts and resources that I find helpful in getting a basic understanding of what is going on with this election.
