   Later on the poll-by-poll results will be available.  I really want 
to have someone look at the polling stations that serve University 
students and see if voter turnout is as bad as we are told (IE: the 
lowest of any  definable demographic in Canada).

   I bet there are ridings where a high University turnout could have 
changed the outcome -- if only students could be convinced to get 
involved and that their voice matters!
