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.

They were. Also, the Lib-NDP total is short by about 20 seats so they have no chance.

I hope Harper and the Conservatives can achieve his desire to update Canada's defence.
Heavy lift aircraft, refueling ships,something for the ageing CF-18 fleet.
Helo's too....enough of the Cormorant nightmare.

The others will probably try to bury the PC's in Health care issues and keep defense change from occuring.

Defence will show how ready Canada is to step up to the world plate me thinks.

You are correct. There was a similar issue back in the 1980s in Ontario.

The press are really lapping this up - disgusting.

'Fraid not. She won. The Conservatives will govern with ~125-130 seats.

Harper will extend the hand of friendship to the US, that's for sure.

Unfortunately no. She and Martin got re-elected. However, they get to lose their jobs. Sweet.

The next election should be a cake walk for Conservatives.

All that`s required is a thorough investigation into the kick back schemes, the stock tip off/insider trading deals and Option Canada scheme.

So many Liberals will be doing the perp walk and jail time that it will cement the Conservatives as permanent majority for the next decade and decimate the Liberal party for a generation.

I think the Liberals are going to be in opposition for a while.

The rumor is they are broke and they will NOT be looking for another election any time soon.

:0)

"There are comments on Free Dominion that there may be an issue with MArtin conceeding."

Canadian liberals are far too much like their American counterparts.

They can't imagine that they don't get EVERTHING they want.

Spoiled babies.

No wonder the younger generations have a growing contempt for the Baby Boom generation. After the cheapening of life that generation has demonstrated with making abortion a matter of convenience, I can just imagine what the Boomers have set themselves up for when they are no longer able to set the rules or fend off those who do.

And it's hard to argue that they won't deserve it.

Exactly. The NDP are flaming IDIOTS. They live in a dream world. They have never accomplished anything yet. They were in power in B.C. for 10 years and drove us into debt so bad that when they got thrown out they were left with 2 seats!!
