Drink, Canada!

Today's the day that we in Canada can go freely and safely do what so many have killed and died for the right to. It is time to vote, people. Don't let this wonderful, mind-boggling freedom go to waste.

Here is a fun and patriotic way to watch the election results tonight, shared with me by the wondrous Kyle Miller, so that I could generously pass it along to you. Whoever you may be.

Take a drink whenever
• anyone uses the phrase "too close to call"
• anyone says "this is the most exciting election since ‘date’"
• anyone mentions the "contempt" scandal
• anyone describes televised leadership debates as a "game changer"
• anyone says "I agree with Jack"
• anyone uses the phrase "vote X, get Y", for some colours X and Y.

Take two drinks in celebration if any of the following happen
• a Minister loses their seat
• a Green MP gets elected
• Linda Duncan retains his her seat
• Brad “defund abortion” Trost gets beaten
• John Baird loses his seat.

Take three drinks every time
• a party leader gets beaten
[This means that you will drink at least twice when Gulf-Saanich Islands is
called...]
• a Western Block MP gets elected.

Finish the bottle if
• the Tories can form a majority
• Liberals can form a majority
• a Communist, Pirate, or Rhino MP gets elected.
