Politics Observation 48 hours before election day

Is it just me or others have notice the trend that all the social media (including redditt), and all the tv station there is such a big liberal presence and supporting the liberals, but when talking/overhearing conversation in coffee shops, parks, workplaces etc its overwhelming the support for the conservatives.

Feels like there is two reality around me, one that lives in my cell phone screen and the other out and about.

It was so close to reality. It’s wild how innocent and wonderful 2011 seems when we look back at it now. Mulcair never stood a chance of living up to that legacy.

I don't l didn't dislike Mulcair as much as many others seemed to either, and the whole "angry Mulcair" thing seemed a bit overrated and even artificial.

In the shadow of Layton he definitely seemed less... refined, but his anger also generally seemed to be for legitimate reasons and (looking at where things have gone in politics) may have been warranted.
