Canada, Oh Canada
Well, they did it. Canadians have elected a Conservative government, albeit a minority one. Personally when fully a quarter (75 from 308) of Canada's ridings are in Quebec which has an entrenched Francophone party, the Bloc Quebecois, frankly an all out majority this time was always extremely unlikely. Though the Conservatives, who last time failed to secure a single one of those 75 seats managed to take 10 this time with a huge rise in total percentage across the province as well, which provides further warning to the Bloc Quebecois that they need to follow through on their pre-election promise of cooperation or risk losing their power base.
The Liberals? Well, Paul Martin didnt waste any time falling on his sword. Anne McLellan, the incumbent Liberal involved in the best documented of the dodgy vote issues, has also lost her seat. My heart bleeds.
I said 'you are SO gonna lose'. Well, they did. Bigtime. Even though some people are still hilariously refusing to admit that this was actually a defeat, because, you know, lots of people didnt vote Conservative so hey, we're all still good Liberals really and in fact, the Conservatives who just won this democratic election are totally out of touch with, you know, the people, right? So really, when you think about it this was actualy a triumph for Liberalism wasnt it? Hurrah!
Party time in the Anglosphere!

Heh, how about Onward Conservative Soldiers?
Well, that's something good, at any rate, isn't it?
Here's hoping Britain will also elect a Conservative gov't next time round (though which party will they vote for in order to achieve a conservative gov't? That's the real puzzle)!
Dear Dirk,
I didnt suppose for one moment that you did vote Liberal, I assumed you were an NDP voter who feels that the Liberals arent Liberal enough.
I knew exactly what you meant. Canada is still a centrist (for which in the real world read Moonbat-level Leftist) country, this is just an aberration, as you you yourself said most Canadians are REALLY just good little Socialist drones, cept for those nasty people who annoyingly voted the Conservatives into power.
See thats the thing about democracy Dirk. No matter how hard good Lefties like you try to make everyone else think like you and act like you, IT DOESNT ALWAYS WORK. Thats why the Left hates actual democracy and annoyances like Freedom of Speech so very very much...
Dear Dirk,
Well racism is objective isnt it, a group of people who are without a shadow of a doubt going to elect a man who rejoices in the nickname of Hitler in a few days are naturally not targets for your ire - only the person who notes and comments on his contempt for such people. But hey, I'm just a tool of the dreaded Zionist conspiracy arent I...
Can you really not do any better than 'You're a racist, yah boo hiss'? God knows the Left has few enough actual coherent arguments but I really thought you might be able to do a little better than that.
