* even though the government was "dysfunctional"... it had checks and balances.

[EDIT]
as of 8:53pm MT, PC minority gov't called (a bit stronger than what Stephen "George W" Harper had)

~ 37% of the electoral vote for PCs, sigh... you see that and media propaganda "Canadians have re-elected Stephen Harper's Conservatives" ... ya a MINORITY of Canadians want Harper and his cronies. Sorry... this stuff gets to me.


** ALL CANADIANS, be prepared for BILL C51 to come back !! www.stopbillc51.ca under a different name **

Hi John,

I am very disappointed too about this election...I'm especially disappointed in British Columbians...so much so that I feel like moving out of British Columbia and going back to the Yukon.
It was a bad time to hold an election right after Thanksgiving Day...note the voter turnout was very low almost the worst for any election.
In my riding they even put a candidate (NDP) on the ballot that had already dropped out of the race!! Think of the discarded ballots there that could have gone to the Greens or Liberals!
I truly feel disgusted by it all!
