Well, really, it wasn't much of a surprise.

The house of commons just voted on a motion of non-confidence in the Liberal government. 171-133. Motion passed. History in the making, this is the first time in Canadian history that a government has been overturned on a simple non-confidence motion. An election will be called tomorrow after our prime minister asks the Governor General to dissolve parliament. We'll be going to the polls in late January sometime. I just don't want to see campaigning on the holidays.
