Election coverage

June 28, 2004 › Sandy McMurray | comment

As the election results come in this evening from ridings across Canada, I'll be flipping from channel to channel on TV. CBC's coverage will feature comic Rick Mercer; Global has Warren Kinsella; CTV has Lloyd Robertson talking to John Crosbie. (City-TV's clever counter-programming is the movie Wag the Dog.

As far as I'm concerned, the best place for election information is this site, brought to you by Canadian Press and the Toronto Star. It's commercial-free, pundit-free and interactive -- you can look up the information you want, when you want it.

For the record
Seats at the dissolution of Parliament:
Liberal: 168, Conservative: 73, Bloc: 33, NDP: 14, Independent:.9, Vacant: 4

Globe & Mail coverage from the 2000 election:
