For those who have been watching the coverage, where is the NDP support coming from? Is it across the nation or in Western Canada, PQ, etc?

I don't know how many people over the last few weeks I've run into that pulled the "I'm only one vote, won't make a diff"... well if you and the rest of the country didn't think this way, your vote WOULD make a difference.

My point was that regardless of who's running the country, they can't tell the difference anyways.
How many 18 year olds do you know actually pay attention to politics and do enough reading and research to raise their own awareness of national issues and make an informed decision on who is the best party to run the country? Most kids these days can barely spell election.
...shit, am I just old?

Posted via RS Mobile | A lot of legal gun owners would want to have rifles/shotguns that are not listed in the registry, in case, somewhere down the road, a change of power is in place and some form of confiscation is carried out by the government. It also prevents unauthorized personnel from knowing what each legal gun owner has in their possession, in case of malicious intent by criminals looking to acquire legally-owned firearms by means of theft or home invasion.
The only problem I have with the LGR (other than privacy issues to the owners) is how the government sold it to the voters - that it is a crime-fighting system that will reduce crime/violence, and can PREVENT criminal activities involving LEGAL firearms from ocurring, which we have now seen, in both accounts, are completely false. Criminals do not obey any laws and any gun control policies are simply targeted at legal owners, rather than the "bad guys".
A lot of people are confused by licensing and registration - ALL gun owners need to be licensed, but what pro-gun groups are saying is that, just like other tools, there's no need to keep a record of every single rifle/gun that any LICENSED gun owner has in possession, just as you wouldn't keep a record of knives, scissors, hammers, baseball bats, etc, simply by fear that the owners of such tools would commit bodily harm against others.

Conrad Black had an interesting observation about the NDP's fortunes: a large part of their caucus will be francophone which may alter the focus of their party.

NDP won most of Ontario, Quebec, parts of Manitoba and BC while basically the rest of Canada voted Conservative except for a chunk of the Maritimes that voted Liberal.

The other thing this election and every other election up to this point is the message the financial world gets from the results. The world has changed so much, but still it makes a difference. A majority government is good news for us.

Over all I'm really kinda stunned, I think this may be the end of the Bloc. Duceppe lost his seat to a completely unknown NDP candidate.

Actually, the Cons took "most of Ontario" - look at the Southern Ontario - that's a critical part of their majority.
I'm no Con fan but I think easily the best part of this election is the (hopeful) demise of the BQ. Welcome back to Federal Politics, Quebecers.

Ontario south is almost all blue now. GG Liberals.

The Liberals will be alright. Per supporter the Liberals actually get larger donations than any other party and have a greater proportion of party members who max out their voting cap.
The end of the voter subsidy really hampers the Greens, The Bloc and the NDP most.

And if it does, it would be the shittiest country in the world | These guys are so out of touch with reality. No wonder they only have 2 or three seats now. Just listening to any debate, how can a party that only has interest in one province and candidates in that one province even make sense in things that affect the whole country? I know they are in it to lead the country, but........... mind you, Christian Heritage is a little weird too..... although they are about values and whatnot.
oh shit........... the BQ leading in 4 now.
Isn't this exciting? Better than Canucks vs Preds, LOLOLOLOLOL
