And the results of that election should be in any time now...
Actually the results were a little faster than that but were still a fiasco.
And now the province's chief electoral officer has released a report into what went wrong and why.
Here to talk about the report is Shawn Apel.

Earlier this month Loreen Pindera told us the story of Sheerhan Mahmoud.
He was stuck in a so-called "welcome class" for children with few French language skills, for a second year.
Sheerhan has learning disabilities.
His parents were frustrated that his school Lucille Teasdale, a french-language school in Cote des Neiges, seemed to be in no hurry to have his special needs assessed.
When we left off his story, Sheerhan had just obtained permission to attend English school.
That's where Loreen found him, this week.
