And, over here, he'd be a liberal Democrat, which is cool. :D

See that's the problem with you.

Why would it matter?:huh:

A partisan thinker instead of a thinker.

'Twould be fine; the system is partisan, though, and doesn't accept those who are not.

The upshot of Harper winning? It's rather early to tell...I suppose with the Bloc holding the balance of power he's going to be forced to move more to the centre, and since it's a minority it's unlikely he'll be able to push some of the old Alliance agendas through. NDP gained some seats.

Other than that, I can't really say.

:shuriken:

I cant believe the Bloc won so many seatts !!!1 :o

I was sure that the conservatives would've won.

Reports are that the new crowd will be friendlier to Bush.

How can this be?

How could such misfits be elected? :huh:

Too early to tell what the alliance will do. While that's possible, and would definitely happen had Harper formed a majority, with it being a minority government, I don't forsee it happening overly much. The Conservatives formed the government, but they don't really have any ideological allies in the Bloc.

From what I've seen on American news about the election results, it doesn't appear as though they really understand that the Canadian conservative is still farther on the left than the American one, and seem to equate the Conservatives with the Republicans.

:shuriken:

The idea that the new governmentals will be less hostile to Bush must be at least a bit unsettling.

Ther'll no doubt be mass demonstrations and civil strife over the fact; I mean, the Canadians are reknowned for their radical feistiness, yes? :P

We will quietly and politely ask them to stop, repeat once in a more firm tone, follow-up with an "Oh, all right then," and perhaps invite them down for a doubledouble at Timmy's. ;)

A winning strategy, rife with friendly but lethal intent.

Well done.
