Elizabeth May is a complete fucking tool.
Ewww, CTV unlocked Mulroney from his crypt, where’s my remote???
Yes, but he’s speaking as an elder statesman–no power, but able to offer commentary. And he’s been fair–he’s had a lot of good things to say about Jack Layton, and his father, whom Mulroney knew; and was cautious about the Liberal collapse, remarking more on the historical significance than on anything else. He’s harmless now, and he’s not saying anything out of line. Yet.
Man am I glad I missed that. I’m having enough flashbacks to 1988 as it is.
It looks like a funeral broadcast on the CBC. They’re not happy at all.
It’s not even mostly the conservative platform that bothers me. It’s this particular band of idiots and their lack of transparency and arrogance that pisses me off. This is going to be an…interesting… 4-5 years, and I’m not sure it’s going to balance out for the good, but it is what it is. I hope they can prove themselves to be better than what they’ve shown so far.
One thing, though…I want Harper slapped with a fine for campaigning on Election Day. It’s against the law, he’s the Prime Minister, he needs to respect Canada and her laws. I don’t care if it’s a nominal fine…I still want it on the record that he broke the law in order to try and gain power. I can only hope it will serve as a check and balance for the future, though I’m not optimistic. There’s no excuse, and this shouldn’t be ignored. They campaigned on accountability a few years back…Election Canada is in a position to enforce it, at least once.
This is a goddamn disaster. The Liberals are decimated and now Harper has the power to administer the coup-de-grace to them by cutting off their funding. We’re going to be left with the Conservatives and the unelectable NDP.
CBC just projected a Conservative Majority. Harper’s the PM until at least 2015.
I for one welcome our new Conservative overlords.
Nah, the coup-de-grace would be to deport Ignatief’s wife.
Who is leading early on at the polls – wonder if she might win the first Green seat?
It was a small swing, but it was enough and it was clear. The Tories did it.
Globe and Mail is reporting that CBC broadcast results before polls closed:
CBC appears to break Elections Act, broadcasts results before polls close
Holy cats! CTV just reported that Ignatieff is losing in his riding!
:eek: “premature transmission”, eh? 
The Reform party, aka the pig in Tory lipstick
CBC has the BQ currently leading in 2 ridings?
Can’t believe the CBC has May listed as “Other” instead of Green. Lazy lazy.
Not thrilled about a Conservative majority, but quite tickled at the collapse of the Bloc.
Sore loser. As usual.
Can’t blame the refs this time.
WTF Leaffan? Uncalled for.
