[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[Josephus]

1037 pm eastern...A Liberal Majority government. God be praised

[HVC]

He's been pm for 10 years. Would they keep him around long enough to see if the liberals mess up?

[HVC]

Poor BB is too depressed to post 

whats worse? The royals display or the election?

[Grey Fox]

Time zone wise, BB is putting kids to bed and swearing over baseball.

The Orange Wave couldn't survive the death of Jack Layton. Atleast Quebec didn't not go back to the BQ.

(I am alone at home, does it show?)

[Monoriu]

My old area in Vancouver voted Liberal

The last possible consolation prize is that the Green party is wiped out. 

[Rex Francorum]

It shows that Québec forgot/forgave about the sponsor/commandites scandal.

[crazy canuck]

Oh well, it is over.  You guys will have to pay more taxes

But they'll have legal weed so it's all good

Taxes matter most.  Don't care about drugs 

I don't make over $200K, I'm no lawyer, increased taxes shouldn't effect me.

[Monoriu]

Looks like CC will get a Conservative MP though 

[Josephus]

the only bad news for me is that in my riding, we didn't go strategic. Libs and NDP split, allowing Conservatives to take it. Damn unemployed auto workers.

[Josephus]

Percentages:

43 Libs

31 Cons

18 NDP

Polls weren't calling this, even the most recent ones. Obviously Cons. held their base, Liberals raped the NDP

[crazy canuck]

Liberals are winning on the North Shore.  Affluent voters looking beyond their narrow self interest 

[Grey Fox]

When is the last time we had a cute first lady? Trudeau's mother?

I hope all this mad spending we are about to embark will lead to a resurrection of science based research.

and of course, nuclear powered ice breakers.

Happy Harper the demagogue is gone, but I am crushed by the evaporisation of the NDP vote in DT Toronto and elsewhere.

But hey, Elizabeth May got elected again.

I lost my consolation prize, but I am happy to see you post
