The Conservatives came almost to 100 seats! When you consider it could have been worse, that's not a bad showing at all. They're 36 seats behind the Liberals and with the support of a conservative leaning independent from BC, Conservatives will actually hold 100 seats in this House Of Commons. Put that together with the 54 from the Bloc and its a tie. Exactly like the polls predicted!

Folks, let's look at the bright side in all of this. We all know any minority government isn't going to last very long. A year, tops. And do you REALLY think Grit arrogance and corruption is going to stop or no longer surface in that year, now that the Liberals have been "chastened", as CBC says?

I think not. They have been so brainwashed into thinking that they are the Natural Ruling Party that they will go on their merry way as if they had won a huge majority. And when that next election comes around (my prediction: March '05), the Tories will capitalize.
