Does this mean that if we deported Granholm that Canada might not take her? (just kidding)

"I will always be at the service of the party," he added in a speech to a crowd of emotional supporters in his Montreal riding of Lasalle-Émard. "The Canada we want is one very much worth fighting for."

So he quits - good plan, thumbs up

Does this mean that if the GOP wins the '08 presidential election, the Hollyweird left will flee to Mexico instead of Canada?

Excellent.

What is teh likelyhood that Martin will pay for any of his major scandals?
Or will this be enough?
(I'm not very conversant on the subject as I really don't know much about Canada except that they helped our guys during the hostage crisis.)

Conservatives made gains in almost every province except Prince Edward Island

Must be the wine drinking? I heard 11% of the pop. in this country drink 88% of all wine consumed. Mostly on the east and west coasts. Could wine make you a whinner?

Watched the Canadian returns on CSPAN last night and was amazed that one can actually win a seat in Parliment there with 13,00-16,000 seats! There must be virtually no people in some of those ridings. And this pip-squeak of a "country" keeps poking us in the eye!
And in true Canadian style, they vote for a new PM, and then vote for most of the Liberal hacks and crooks, so that he can't succeed in changing anything. They are even more stupid and lack-luster than US voters.

Thanks to Michael Moore a new map has been drawn.

Conservative share of the popular vote.

British Columbia - 37.3% (plurality)
Alberta - 65.0% (majority)
Saskatchewan - 48.9% (plurality)
Manitoba - 42.8% (plurality)
Ontario - 35.1% (minority - 2nd to Liberals @ 39.1%)
Quebec - 24.6% (minority - 2nd to Bloc @ 42.1%)
New Brunswick - 35.8% (minority - 2nd to Liberals @ 39.9%)
Nova Scotia - 29.7% (minority - 2nd to Liberals @ 37.2%)
Prince Edward Island - 33.4% (minority - 2nd to Liberals @ 52.5%)
Newfoundland - 42.7% (minority - 2nd to Liberals @ 42.8%)
Yukon - 23.7% (minority - 3rd to Liberals @ 48.5%)
Northwest Territories - 19.8% (minority - 3rd to NDP @ 42.1%)
Nunavut - 29.6% (minority - 2nd to Liberals @ 39.1%)

What regions went Conservative?

British Columbia east of the Coast and Vancouver plus the Port Alberti region of Vancouver island, all Alberta, the southern populated areas of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, southeastern Ontario outside the major cities, Quebec north of Ottawa and southeast of Quebec City and near Sageunay, southern and western New Brunswick (non-French areas of the Province), central and the southern Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, the St. John's region of Newfoundland island.

As far as any disappointment, there were some close ridings in British Columbia (4), Saskatchewan (1), Ontario (5), New Brunswick (2), Nova Scotia (1), and Newfoundland (2) which went Liberal or NDP but could've gone Conservative with just a few hundred more votes. They win those, they get 139 seats plus the Independent.

The last insult, of course, is the unfair districting of the country, which gives too great a weight to Liberal areas, and cheats Conservative ones.
