Last night was our Canadian Elections. The Liberals were elected to their third mandate, with over 170 seats. This in itself is a difference from the US political system... we elect a party to power, with the party leader retiring if needed, and another member of the party becoming Prime Minister.

Another difference from the US: our pundits say we had our poorest turnout to vote in about 80 years; the percentage of Canadians who voted was 63. Big difference from the 59% mentioned in the States as a poor turnout...

As to the final choice: I'm not very happy with it. The Liberals failed to keep many of their promises in the past 8 years, and nearly destroyed our country's health and other social systems. The most pathetic thing here though, is that no better political option is present.
