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.

Observations on yesterday's Conservative victory......Quebec:
"Quebeckers made a mistake freezing the governing party at 10 seats (of 75). They have said in effect, “No matter how hard you court us we won’t accept you, because your values on defence, environment, social issues and Senate reform are not ours.” Politically this tells Harper to stop sucking up and to start treating Quebec just like any other province."
Ontario:
"Clearly his future majority lies in this long-time Liberal heartland, where the Conservatives made significant gains (up from 40 to 51 seats of 106). Though they now outnumber the Liberals with 38, they hold less than half the seats, so they have room to grow. And Ontarians speak Harper’s economic language. Quebeckers don’t."
