Panama says yes to the canal expansion

Panamas Electoral tribunal has just announced that todays referendum was a huge Si! 78.72% of the votes said yes. Unfortunately only 42.53% of the registered voters came out to vote.

Here is a pretty good flash presentation about the amplification of the canal.

La Prensa has a great gallery of photos from todays referendum which capture the spirit of the day. In particular check out the pictures from the junior referendum.
