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.

PLEASE may Belinda lose!!! That would be the icing on the cake.

I don't think that would be a good working alliance myself, and I agree with your questioning this.

[skaterboy]

so if we have a minority and the people who help us cant be trusted...what we got?

[kellynch]

Bummer. Martin kept his seat.

Damn.

I just went to a site and it had Conservative 85
liberals 70
bloc 28
NOp or NDP 23

Has anyone else seen these numbers?

[Tribune7]

Um...I'll take Jesusland...Certainly safe in the (really) long term...

Very true :-)

[HunterAmor]

federalism. the tories favor more decentralization, which the bloc is, of course, in favor of.

[Canadian Outrage]

Your post 977 - aha, we are on the rise!! PTL!! Honestly if a Liberal walked in my room right now, I pound the $h*t out of them for being so stupid and for polluting the earth.

What the heck is the "Marjiuana Party?" Wouldn't they be too stoned to vote?

[Mad_as_heck]

They're saying that Canadians aren't moving to the right, they're just getting rid of a tired party.

How is that not moving to the right? Of course, don't expect DUmbocrats to make sense.

The way lefties see things nobody is ever moving to the right, no matter how plain the evidence to the contrary. Big congratulations to Canadian FReepers: Minority or majority this is a big win for your cause and we salute you!

An opportunity to dispel fears of Harper being a firebreathing monster that eats babies and wants to put grandma in the street.

Congrats. From 2 seats to 109 and counting!

Prime Minister of Canada - Stephen Harper

[kellynch]

That part makes sense, but the French just aren't trustworthy. I don't care which continent they live on.

[HHKrepublican_2]

Martin is losing his own riding.

[MDspinboyredux]

I grew up on him in Michigan. Only got 3 channels (before cable). CBS, NBC and CBC (ABC was too far away).

That dinosaur Mansbridge has got to go. He's spinning that the Conservatives should be disappointed because it wasn't the blowout that we expected.

He'd do Dan Rather proud.
