Canadian Elections -- How the Polls Did

Yesterday, I wrote about how recent elections around the world have fooled the pollsters.  The elections in the USA, UK and Israel had very different outcomes than those predicted by the last polls before the voting and even the exit polls in some cases.  Those three countries had much stronger conservative voting than predicted.  Now Canada has voted and the results again fooled the pollsters.  This time, however, it went the other way.  The Conservative party lost and the Liberals did better than expected.  You have to wonder how people exists as pollsters when their results are consistently so wrong.
