Election night Post Mordem

Well it's not what I had hoped for but hey the Conservatives are still in power and the Conservative guy in my riding won by a landslide. (Mckenzie). The Good news is the Conservatives gained 16 seats, and well the Libs lost 19, which should pretty much seal the casket on Stephane Dion's leadership of the Liberals, not that the the alternative choices are any better, Bob Rae no thanks you did one hell of a hatchet job to Ontario when you were in office in the early 90's, not a chance in hell that Ontarians would vote for you. Micheal Ingnatief no thanks as well, you are way to arrogant for my liking and quite frankly the fact that the only reason you left the states was to be a Star Candidate for Paul Martin and a shot for leadership. Gerard Kennedy thanks to you Dion won in 2006 so no thanks. Ken Dryden not a great choice but the best of this bunch.
As for the Greens I'm glad that they didn't win a seat as for Elizabeth May running against Peter Mckay in Nova Scotia was not a bright idea, but then when she and Dion were in kahoots they really didn't deserve a seat.
Jack Layton did well taking votes away from the Libs and gaining 7 seats, I can't see Captain Mustache getting more than 40 seats this is probably the peak for the party.

Election Bricks: CAW national leader Ken Luenza on 2 fronts, the first I'm glad that your anything but Harper campaign blew up in your face, funny how all the "Automotive ridings" went Blue exept for 2 in Windsor. And while we are at it your little comment about your hoping that the Opposition parties would form a coalition government to overthrow Harper, well excuse me you arrogant prick last I checked the auto plants and suppliers that have all closed down or layed off recently were all UNIONIZED, I think maybe the Unions high demands come contract times have led to the problems not Harper.

Election night thoughts

9:00 PM EST- Half hour left to vote, hope like hell people in this country do the right thing and tell Dion and Layton to go take a hike, they are the wrong people for Canada.....If Green Party Leader Elizabeth May honestly thinks she has a shot at defeating Peter McKay in her riding, she's even more looney than I thought.
9:07- Gotta love all the left wing think tanks that these election coverage shows use....
9:22- God I Hate Dion apologists.... just admit he's weak dammit.
9:30-Closing Time, the Early returns from the Atlantic Provinces, Dion with the early lead but looks like they will lose at least three seats, So far so good for Mckay with a big lead over May....
9:51- Damn a Conservative Mionority, well maybe they are wrong....
10:03- McKenzie projected a winner in Oxford, looks like the NDP candidate might finish ahead of the Liberal candidate.
10:08- Nice to see CAW's golden boy Taras Natyshak get defeated in Essex shows that the Unions don't always get there way.
10:22- Conservatives sweep Alberta 28-0, Liberals look like they have lost votes in Ontario and I would imagine in alot of places in Canada.
10:35- If I'm a Conservative I'm doing everything I can to get those 2 or 3 independents on board they night just give them the magical 155.
10:47- Looks like Dion probably won't stand a chance of keeping the leadership of the Liberals....
10:57- No Greens get elected, wonder how much of a success Elizabeth May will say it was.
11:53- waiting for Dion to finally speak, wonder how he will spin the loss....

All Canidates meeting thoughts.

Tonight they had the All Candidates for the Riding of Oxford in Woodstock, If I had walked in there as a undecided voter at the beginning of the night, I would have had the list knocked down to 2 candidates by the end of the night, Conservative Dave McKenzie and CHP candidate Shaun MacDonald they both came prepared knew thier parties platforms and were very well spoken, and thier parties platforms represent my views of this country. As for the rest of the candidates, get your facts right and know your platform that you are speaking on, The Liberals are pushing a BS greenshift plan and their candidate Martha Dennis couldn't remeber some of the points of the plan, If you want any undecided voter to really take you seriously learn the platform that your party plans on screwing the country into the ground with. As for Captain mustache's aka Jack Layton candidate Dianne Abbott sounded way to ditzy and also had to read out of the platform binder, again come prepared. As for the green party sorry I can't vote for their silly policies. Seriously though If I wasn't voting for the Conservatives I would seriously give a hard long look at the CHP party the only downfall to voting for them is that it seems like a wasted vote because really does anyone really think they got a chance in hell of ever getting elected. Next Tuesday Candians have a important choice you can vote to stay the course and know that Harper is a strong leader that is looking out for Canadians best interests or you can vote for Dion and his dumb little greenshift tax grab, and then really see how bad this country gets f'd up. Seriously folks the best thing would be a Harper majority really this country would be better for it.

Here is my prediction for how it will all shake out next Tuesday night,
Conservatives 185
Liberals 75
Bloq 30
NDP 18
