Sad sad day for Canada. I usually stay out of Politics but this is disgusting.

@Gaudette Celly I disagree. Refusing to vote is not the answer. It gives the power to fewer people. The key to winning any election is getting your supporters to get out and vote. Roughly, only 66% of eligible voters cast a ballot in this election. That means about 9M eligible Canadians did not vote. If more of those people got out and voted, we may have had a different outcome.

When you have a choice between the Hell's Angels and Taliban, how does "more turnout" help? Your presumption is that more people voting for the same corrupt tyrants can somehow make things better? It doesn't matter who wins, it's a dog and pony show, a staged circus no more real than WWE.
"More turnout" simply legitimizes the corruption, and says "Yes, I approve of this". That's why in places like Australia where people were fed up and not voting they had to FORCE people to vote, otherwise the charade would be up because the government had the support of so few people they were illegitimate and powerless.If you believe the SYSTEM is fantastic then fine, but if not there's no party that's going to do anything to change let alone fix it.
