   AA>"Quebec riding of Terrebonne flips to Liberals after recount   
     >shows candidate won by single vote"   
      
   Yes, it was sort of 'quietly' suggested that the original count   
   might have been influenced by the people counting the ballots   
   who would most likely want the French candidate to win, so the   
   tiniest 'error' on the ballot, like using a check mark instead   
   of an X, would have them tossing it if it was for Carney..   
   But, in a recount, there are several people keeping an eye on   
   things and any ballot that makes it obvious who the person wanted   
   to vote for is counted rather than discarded.   
      
   AA>Apparently.. there are two other ridings getting recounts,   
     >according to the above article.   
      
   Yes, and if I heard correctly, neither of those can help the   
   Carney Liberals. They already have the most votes there and   
   any change from a recount would just lost them that seat   
   rather than give them another one. So things won't change.   
   Carney has his minority government, but so close he should be   
   able to find a couple of people from other parties to back up   
   most of the things he wants to do..   
      
   The USA today greatly reduced the tariffs on China, and they   
   lowered theirs in response for at least 90 days, which took   
   a little of tension off of the markets since China sells the   
   USA something like $600 Billion a year in goods.   
      
   Trump also was given a $400 Million Jumbo Jet to use to replace   
   Airforce One as a gift from Quatar which Trump said he'd be a   
   fool not to accept.. ignoring that the US Constitution makes his   
   accepting gifts like that totally illegal..
