That's not entirely true. There are many non whites convinced by these scare tactics also. I have a few friends who are not born Canadians but voted Conservative as they fear higher taxes etc. All about $$$

Yeah, I actually heard that too. I have some friends who don't follow politics at all and their choice was solely tax bill. That's like arguing about bills from grocery stores without knowing what you're getting for that bill. Appalling.

Le plateau est rouge ? Damn :O

I'm happy that the Bloc is maybe back! 2 more to go before being a official party again!

But i dont think PQ could win in Quebec anymore now... If yes, it's the last chance of Quebec for real! And if PQ win with Trudeau as PM xD. We are back in time lol.

Was a great and fun day ! At least now i know i can talk in english to english people :p!

WEED WILL BE LEGAL OMGGGGGGG. It's so good! No more pusher that sell you crap!

Bio-Weed! Choice of Weed! Controlled THC! Weed oil! Brownies!

And we will have SO MUCH tourism from the USA and other place just for that!


Maybe Trudeau will let each province decide if or not Weed is ok. But i know Quebec will be ok with that !

Was a very nice day!

One last re-post xD

How the fuck is polling so much of a crap shoot in this country? Whats the point of it?
Maybe because polls are done only with the vocal population.

I think a lot of voters keep their intentions hidden until they see the final results. Seeing a close race between Liberals and Conservatives probably convinced a bunch to go out and vote or change from the other parties.

I love when Canada comes together like this :)

It makes it all the better that Harper ran a campaign based on racism and fear, and Canadians responded with a Liberal majority.

Robert-Falcon Ouellette is leading Pat Martin by about 650 votes in Winnipeg Centre.

Edit: Oh, the Liberals beat Steven Fletcher too.

Yea it boggles my mind. These are really liberal minded people too when it comes to the environment, social issues and such. But the all mighty dollar comes first. :/
 
I just want the NDP to die. Every NDP MP should just resign and give those seats over to the Liberals or Conservatives.

Seeing them during Question Period is just going to be salt in the wound. :(

As someone who was in the exact same position as you four years ago: don't quit on your party. They need people like you now more than ever.

Why? The next election may be a totally different show. I've voted for the Greens every election (voted NDP this election just to try and re-elect our NDP MP) and I have yet to feel discouraged from voting just because the Greens are still a tiny party.
It's different... I think as a Green supporter, you didn't really believe that Elizabeth May could be the next PM. As an NDP supporter, I really had hope and dreams for an NDP-led Canada.

This whole situation is incredibly depressing. The only good thing is that Harper is done.
People forget some of the crap during the Chretien/Martin years because it's been so long, but I expect some shenanigans to happen at some point.

I know you're venting but come on dude.
This is a bit extreme.
I can't help it. I'm in psycho-ex girlfriend mode posting as much hurtful things on Mulcair's facebook feed before I'm banned. :p


I'll see you next election.

Im happy liberals are majority, yet im dissapointed still. How the fuck does the conservators atill get 100+ seats?

The CPC votes is holding tonight. They polled at around 30% for the last 3 years. What changes is the NDP. The left-wing vote wasn't split this time.

Yup. I didn't want a Liberal majority but I feel good about that. It decreases the chances of that racist strategy being used in the future.

I trust May to speak up hard for proportional representation as it's in her interest. Which is why re-electing her was so important.
With the other two parties in disarray, it would be something to see the PR movement rally around Elizabeth May. I'd be all for it.\

Poor Green Party... the only riding where they're actually in the lead so far is mine haha.
Doesn't look like they're going to bag Victoria.

I think the ndp will end up with 35-38 seats at this point. They will probably barely beat their 2008 election results.
