Continuing the off-topic thread, was anyone else upset by the way that the
vote was handled?  I had the following issues with my polling place:

1)  I didn't have to prove that I was a Canadian citizen before they
    let me add myself to the list of eligible electors.  All that they
    cared about was that I lived in the building that the polling place
    was.  I'd estimate that over 50% of my building's tenants are not
    Canadian citizens, so that was probably an important thing to check.

2)  When they were searching for my name on the elector list, they told me
    which of my neighbours were on the list

3)  After I filled in the voting sheet, I had to hand it back to the
    electoral staff member, who looked it over before putting it in the
    computer.  What right does he have to know how I voted?
