Turnout (was re: Private to everyone)

Guys, guys, guys: the comparison is not as between federal and provincial voter turnout in Newfoundland and Labrador. The comparison is between provincial voter turnout among the various provinces.

And the picture is not a very pretty one. Out of the ten provinces, in the most recent provincial general election, Newfoundland and Labrador had a voter turnout of 57.9 percent, or sixth out of the ten:

Prov	Election	Turnout	Rank
BC	2013	57.1	7
AB	2012	57.0	8
SK	2011	66.0	3
MB	2011	55.8	9
ON	2014	52.1	10
QC	2014	71.4	2
NB	2014	65.4	4
NS	2013	59.0	5
PE	2011	76.5	1
NL	2011	57.9	6

And, as noted by one of the very papers that the much-maligned (for no good reason) Samara study cites, between 1965 and 2009, Newfoundland and Labrador's provincial voter turnout averaged 71.1%... again, sixth out of the ten provinces:

Maybe there's some evidence of high voter engagement that Samara missed, and which would put paid to their conclusions.

The provincial voter-turnout record is not that evidence.
