Election Night In Canada....in Argentina

We were invited to the Canadian Embassy as guests of the Canadian Ambassador, Tim Martin to watch the results of the federal election.


It was a fun night.

The Ambassador is a pretty laid back guy and his wife, Fatima & Mimi got along really well....go figure. I think they make great representatives of Canada here...but then I think we do too!

It was a buffet dinner and free beer - a bit different than the last time we got to the 'Canada Club'.

We watched the results via streaming CBC video on the internet on a ~ 90" BIG screen TV. We left the party at close to midnight when the Conservatives were 'leading or elected' in 144 ridings. It was a school night after all.

A majority sounds like it slipped away from Harper although most of Alberta voted his way.

There were a few Argentine Members of the Senate in attendance - I think they were there to watch democracy in action.

Harper may have a minority government, but not like the minority Cristina finds herself in down here these days.
