1812 — the most embarrassing war.

Caller said, "Vote Liberal", in NDP riding.

From: bustard, Edmonton

Early on election day we received a call from Edmonton Alberta area code. He asked who I was voting for and I told him its personal, then he told me "If you dont want Steven Harper for prime minister you better vote for the NDP"! Our riding is Esquimalt-Jaun dFuca. Here it was very close PC-Lib riding before… I thought for some reason he wanted me to vote NDP so the Libs would lose a vote. Only thing was the phone campaign worked to well as the NDP got in… but very close. The Libs were all but wiped out. I think the same phone campaign probably went on in Quebec and other areas where Lib-PC's were close previously.
