The NDP seemed to do pretty well without official opposition status  Quote:

This one? She looked a lot hotter on the TV screen when her icon was a lot smaller. Also apparently spent some time partying in Vegas instead of campaigning and still won against the Bloc.
edit
The picture changed on my. Holy christ, she looks a lot better after some photoshop and makeup...

Kids, don't watch too much porn or fap too much to it, 'cause it will damage your eyesight like it did mine.......... plus the hair on your palms, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
She definitely looked better on TV. I think Catherine Pope was on at the same time........ so you know, it was like a comparison thing. That chick looked like a godess next to Pope.

As there ever been another election where none of the party leaders are even slightly likeable? It's fucked that Canada has to vote for someone we wouldn't even want to have a beer with to run the country.

During the CBC interview, he was at a loss of words several times. My guess is he was either expecting a victory in his riding or he didn't give the campaign his best effort, despite his claim that it was his best thus far. Despite his political track record, I personally believe his time was up and better off enjoying his personal life.
Meena Wong, the NDP candidate in the same riding was crushed with 8499 votes. WTF happened there?  | |

There were several people on RS who were taking the "anything but Harper" approach, and were quite aggressive in trying to bring up anything they could **cough Manic! cough** to bash the Conservatives. Yet there is a strange silence once the numbers came in and we have a Conservative majority. Must be a few severely butthurt people this morning.
I guess Taylor was right: "Canadians don't care." I sure didn't, but I did care about getting stuck with another minority and not having a party that could actually run the country for their full term to let Canadians see what they will do.

Let's be honest: the majority was won in Ontario where vote-splitting cost the Liberals many seats. With the exception of Vancouver South, I don't think the Conservatives gained any other seats in BC.

You know. It still strikes me though as so wrong that there's half a billion seats in southern Ontario but what... 7 in the Lower Mainland?

I believe they're adding another 50 seats to Ontario in the next election. Quote:

I'm obviously a part of the anti-harper group, even though I'll personally benefit from the conservative leadership.
I'm unclear of the exact point your trying to make, aside from gloating that the party you support won.Harper winning a majority was always a possibility and it's one we are upset about, but overall the election results were excellent. The NDP broke through Quebec setting them up for long term success in that province, the green party finally have a representative in parliament, and the liberal party really didn't do that badly by percentage, they were just badly hurt by the vote split in Ontario. Sorry, I'm not butt hurt, your assumption couldn't be more wrong. Quote:

I heard the ndp has 4 students voted in, one who is 19 and another who just spent a week in vegas during election week.
I think thats fantastic news. The youth are the future of canada, not some 50-60 year old lawyers.

Yeah but in BC we have 125K people per seat while in OT it's 124.
Alberta's actually the worst off of all the provinces with 132K per seat while Quebec is about 105K

didnt get around to voting yesterday as my position is strictly conservative, but i couldnt support Nina Grewal who's done literally nothing of note for my riding and with this newly elected term gets a fat ass pension for the rest of her life
Was considering voting against it strictly for the sake of my riding, but that website which displayed the parties status in said riding was innacurate because the liberal candidate who was supposedly the 2nd runner up was not even running in this election, hence the NDP candidate Nao Fernando was the runner up this election
