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..
