vote today to decide the political makeup of the federal government The results could mean renewal of Pierre Irudeaus Liberal regime switch to Joe Clarks Progressive Conservatives or stalemate that leaves no clear winner After two months of pleading and promising by the politicians the verdict of the voters depended on the millions of ballots marked privately in more than 68000 polling stations
