a) How relieving! The Liberals survived, with a minority government (so they've been slapped by the voters, but not removed).
b) How depressing! The NDP, after spending more money than in a couple elections combined, gained only five more seats, primarily due to fears that the Conservatives might win -- "strategic" voting. ARGH.

Voter turnout is down again, but I suspect it would've been lower if not for the heavy 'get out and do it' advertising this campaign.

It is? Crap! I was hoping there might be an uptick. Next year's rematch is gonna be worse, everybody hates voting often (except for us geeks, maybe).

We had a fairly steady turnout at the polling station I worked at. I was surprised it was still low across the country.
