A royal wedding, followed by the death of Bin Laden and the most unpredictable election that Canada has ever seen! I don't remember there ever being so much happening in the world as there has been in the last few days.
The royal wedding was beautiful and I hope Catherine and William find happiness together for many years to come. And then, last night, I was awoken at midnight and told that Bin Laden is dead! What a feat for our American friends!
And now, today, is election day in Canada. Not only is this the most unpredictable election in Canada, it is likely to be the largest voter turn-out that we have ever seen. The early polls had a 34% increase in voter turn-out.. a record for Canada. To top that off, there is a huge surge in support for the New Democrat Party which is why no one is able to really guess what will happen. They are saying the increased support for the NDP is because the younger people are taking an interest in the election and a change in view in Quebec. It's great that our young people are learning about elections and their right to vote and actually participating in the elections. Due to the uncertainty, tonight's telecast for the election may be the most watched in Canadian history. We're switching the channel back and forth between the hockey play-offs and the election.
What an amazing week all over the world!

Wasn't the outcome of that election something? I'm really glad to see more young people getting involved too.
