Well now that I can legally talk about election results *eyeroll*... ugh. Not surprising I guess, but ugh. Here's hoping he doesn't get a majority. NDP as the opposition will be interesting, though
( Read more... )
i was so hoping for a minority. damnit. well i didnt vote for them. heh.
but aside from conservative policies, Harper is fantastic political strategist (he knows how to get votes). but I am glad the bloc are practically non existent, and strong ndp official opposition
well while i was hoping for a minority, i had a feeling it was actually going to be a majority. im not really surprised.
kind of realized it might go that way when canadians were basically equally divided for or against capital punishment in a poll done a little while ago.
Yeah me neither. Just depressed. I want my country back in the hands of the left wing, but I don't know which party I'd actually want in charge. ^^ One thing about the US, I guess, is that it's a clear cut choice...
Are we really? o.o Wow, I would've thought we'd be pretty largely against it. Yeesh.
(I just hope he doesn't use his newfound power to, say, try to overturn same-sex marriage again... or cut arts funding even more. (though I was wrong about that 90-something% number I told you the other day - that's provincial. One of Campbell's little legacies...). Hopefully not. And hopefully the NDP will be able to keep him in check a bit? I dunno... I'm glad that the Green finally got a seat, though!)

But yes, I'm glad the Bloc got decimated - fine for them to have a few seats to represent Quebec, but 20+ was ridiculous. And yay for NDP! :)
