Canadian Voters Deliver Inconclusive Verdict on Monday
In Canada the Monday vote yielded a mixed result with Liberals at 42 percent and Conservatives at 39 percent. Voter turnout was under six million of nine million eligible, leaving the government without a decisive endorsement for either the Liberals or the Diefenbaker party. The next session promises a lively, possibly brief, parliament as splinter groups gain attention but may fail to form a government.
