Re: OT: Canadian Politics

Unfortunate timing for Harper that the newspaper business is booming so strongly right now, which has obviously led to the Toronto Star's massive influence on the outcome.

Is it possible a bunch of Shy Tory ballots were simply too bashful to shake out of the ballot box?

Re: OT: Canadian Politics

Not quite the decimation of the Tories that Chretien lead, but I guess when the Tory ads said "Just not ready," they were clearly speaking of themselves.

This is all on the CPC. This is way less about voting a party in as voting a regime out.

I do think Trudeau deserves credit for a great campaign, but yeah, this election is in very large part a self-inflicted gunshot to the head by the Conservatives.

This is a perfect way for Harper to go off into the history books.

People vote in waves. That's why all these "party *** is dead" pieces are so short sighted.

Amazing influence.
Mulcair losing in his own riding. Oliver losing in his.
Can't wait for Harper's resignation.

Lol. A Justin Trudeau majority. Yuck.

Underwhelming Conservative turn out and an NDP cratering...

As a conservative I'm bummed, as a self-employed individual I'm scared.

Chow is out. That should make most of you GTA people happy.

Re: OT: Canadian Politics

Further salt in the wound for the NDP: Olivia Chow has been defeated, and the NDP is even trailing in Jack Layton's old seat in Toronto-Danforth (which Layton's replacement won with 59% of the vote).

Chow down. Only 22% of the vote in a riding she has owned forever.

As a fellow self-employed individual, I long for the days when I did better under Chretien's Liberals.

The problem with Chow losing is that Vaughan won. Not sure which is worse

Re: OT: Canadian Politics

61 elected, 120 leading....

When do I start getting shocked every time I see this number go higher? Grenier had the Liberal max pegged at 185

Quebec went in a wave again, and I'm sure that nobody on earth expected it to be a red one.
