The leader of the largest conservative party in Canada and official Opposition won his seat. Stephen Harper will be in Parliament by the middle of next week, to make up lost ground after the disastrous 18 month leadership of Stockwell Day.

THE TASK AT HAND IS TO SAVE CANADA FROM THE CLUTCHES OF LIBERAL CORRUPTION AND NEGLECT.

The Liberals' poor showing in the central Newfoundland riding -- they lost by only 742 votes -- came as a shock to most observers.

Center-left governments are falling from the sky like hail-stones. Spain, Italy, France, soon, perhaps, even in Germany--Schroder's party took a pasting in Saxony recently, a portent of things to come. Ever so slightly, the pedulum swings to the right. But why, I ask you? Why? Why just now?

"It will send a message (to the federal Liberals) ... They will have to stand up and notice this."

Everything I've ever seen of the Cretin (sic) Government is that they are so arrogant as to be either unwilling or utterly incapable of noticing anything besides themselves. The Liberals will not notice, they will not reform. They will simply be voted out of office more and more until they no longer have enough seats to govern.

Which will be just fine with me.

I briefly saw something on CBC(They cover the Wings better than ABC) the other day about a major scandal involving some govt official and Quebec with a "Sweetheart business deal" that cost taxpayers millions.

Did this election reflect that?
