I'm gonna go to bed, but Peter Mansbridge was pretty on point with his wrap up. The entire thing was underwhelming.

I sincerely hope we have a big change in society. This is the federal election for god sakes, and it seems almost universal that the platforms, campaign, outcomes and messages to the public were less than inspired. We can't accept mundane, indifferent or inconsiderate leadership. Disagreements are healthy, and we need different viewpoints. But it seems like each party was so off the mark through this entire thing that a regional party like the Bloc actually comes out looking the best (which is disgusting). Given the outcome, it's disheartening how the leaders communicated to Canadians, and I really hope we can get back to truly caring about each other and our country, not just pats on the back, from the top to the bottom.

On a positive note, it's important to remember just how lucky we are that our elections don't come with mob justice, violence or fraud. Democracy has its issues, but I would still prefer this rather lifeless election over most alternatives.
