[Canadian Outrage]

Fanfan, Goldenstate is very pro Canadian. I have to defend him here. We all have a lot to be worried about as far as lefties in both of our countries. CO

Fanfan, Goldenstate is very pro Canadian.

Goldstategop is very knowledgeable about Canadian politics and I appreciate the fact that he follows it.

OTOH, that's what is frustrating me so much.

We may not get a majority, but until the polls close, we can be optimistic.

Tax-chick, Can we get us a Guinness around here?

[Tax-chick]

Here you go!

And you're right - as long as the polls are open, you could win.

This is the Globe and Mail site to watch the live returns.

It's interactive. Choose a province, and then a riding, if you wish.

It will begin at 10pm, est.

Thanks TC!

You’re a Doll!

[Tax-chick]

You’re welcome. You owe me one for our election :-).

[Canadian Outrage]

I am staying optimistic. I believe that the Conservatives in this country understand that they MUST get out and vote if they ALL do, it will make a huge difference. Perhaps a huge chunk of the Liberals, Greenies, NDPer’s and Blocheads, could forget!! CO

[Tax-chick]

I thought Stephane Dion was a woman! (Looks like I wasn’t *too* far wrong ...)

[fanfan]

It will be my pleasure!

[goldstategop]

A simple question and he can't understand it! But he can run around telling Canadians how wonderful it would be to pay a new Green Tax!

A few seats in the cities will go left, but I think a good chunk of the rest of us are fed up.

Go Harper!!!

I will be back soon.

[fanfan]

Too funny, eh?

:-)

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

I’ll hoist a couple good Montana Pilsners to your good luck tonight.

I was born in Canada. The two nations had different origins. Canada's Constitution is founded on the notion of order and good government. The American Declaration Of Independence is founded on the idea of limited government.

Define woman.

Define wrong.

[fanfan]

I was born in Canada.

Me too. My parents and my children, as well.

Yes, and that is the reality of the current situation.

All I can say, is Thank God that Canada and the United States share a common border. I can't imagine a better neighbour.

Cheers.

There could be one riding in PEI that goes to the Tories this year, Egmont. However, if Egmont does actually flip to the Conservatives, we could be looking at a good night. Also, you’ll want to look at if the Bloc can take away more Liberal seats in PQ, and see if the Tories can make a few pick-ups.

That all said, I think Canada will be looking at another Tory-minority government. The Conservatives just haven’t done a good job in gaining traction in the GTA which is absolutely killing their shots at majorities.

[fanfan]

Thanks Vet.

[goldstategop]

Think Molson's!
