I was the NDP scrutineer at one of the polls, and 5 self-identified "usually vote NDP" voters told me after the count that they were regretting their decision to strategically vote liberal. They were disappointed at the prospect of a Liberal majority. I just shook my head and said it was unfortunate. But I kinda wanted to punch them.

Looks like a lot of people decided to go with the White Simms instead of Blue Simms this time. (Moon Over Parador, in case anyone is wondering.)
