Canadian General Election, Live Thread (UPDATE: Conservatives Win!)
Elections Canada ^ | N/A

Posted on 01/23/2006 8:03:44 AM PST by GreenLanternCorps

If JimRob, etc. approve this is the Live Thread for the Canadian General Election, on January 23rd, 2005.

We have a while to go before the returns start coming in, but I thought the thread needed to get up and running.

But why would the BQ be willing to go along with the CPC? Aren't the French all Socialists?

I'll take a Conservative Minority, it's better than a Liberal governement!

Harper can use this time to clean house and set the stage for the next election in the next three years or so.

CBC: Tories lead in 9 Quebec seats!

That word always reminds me of my finest hour in HS American History. Someone asked the teacher what happened to the Tories after we beat the British in the Revolution. I shouted out, "They survived, now we just call the Canadians!"

I remember elections where 10 minutes after the polls closed in Ontario the tv networks had already called the result.

You are right. You see why I haven't watched CBC for over 10 years. It's the likes of those Liberal HACKS like Mansbridge that make me PUKE!!
