The Terrebonne riding (in Quebec) will be having a recount. By federal law, any election decided by a margin that's less than 100votes must go through a recount, and according to the first count, that riding was decided by 35 votes.
Don't let anybody tell you that your vote doesn't count. We wouldn't have that law if this didn't happen on a regular basis, and in races this tight, every vote counts.
EDIT: And as I typed that, the final poll reported in for Terra Nova-The Peninsulas in Newfoundland. That riding was decided by twelve votes.
RE-EDIT: Oh, yes -- None of these numbers are official. Elections Canada has not yet published the final vote numbers.
