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.
Algore did similar stuff too. Something about nervous leftwing politicians playing goofy family sports to hide their fears makes me giggle.
I have the sound muted. I can't stand the guy. I can't wait to see PM-elect Harper's speech.
I just stand astonished at how Harper and the CPC broke into Quebec like they did. That only happens with Quebec-born leaders. It's just an incredible result.
I wouldn't pack it in yet. The libs lost tonight. The west has their PM.
It is as if all of the CBC went to the Dan Rather School of Left wing wacko spin reporting at the Clinton University and Brothel.
This spin is blatent.
Here are the close ridings where the Conservatives are still in the race:
Quebec (2; CPC leads 2):
Beauport-Limoilou (7,494 CPC - 6,869 BQ; 95/251 reporting)
Louis-Herbert (15,267 CPC - 15,160 BQ; 212/251 reporting)
Ontario (5; CPC leads 3):
Barrie (22,662 CPC - 21,269 LIB; 245/257 reporting)
Brant (21,455 LIB - 20,934 CPC; 243/250 reporting)
Glengary-Prescott-Russell (21,329 CPC - 21,106 LIB; 205/217 reporting)
Huron-Bruce (17,914 LIB - 17,696 CPC; 215/229 reporting)
Simcoe North (21,140 CPC - 19,982 LIB; 251/266 reporting) - This should be called for the Conservatives
Manitoba (1; CPC leads 1)
Winnipeg South (15,962 CPC - 15,925 LIB; 155/163 reporting)
British Columbia (4; CPC leads 2)
Fleetwood-Port Kells (12,045 CPC - 11,350 LIB; 166/200 reporting)
New Westminster Coquitlam (5,458 NDP - 4,549 CPC; 68/241 reporting)
Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission (7,632 CPC - 7,537 NDP; 100/218 reporting)
West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country (12,173 LIB - 11,487 CPC; 130/237 reporting).
The Conservative in West Vancouver will not sit with the party until he's cleared of smuggling charges, even if he wins.
That headline has to be freaking out a few Libs. First Canada. Next- San Francisco! LOL
I hope Harper has some Chicago Bear Urlacker Linebacker types.
He's gonna need a D to block the rush on the Kitty [Federal money] that others salivate for.
Sounds like the perfect Liberal. How'd he manage to avoid being Prime Minister? ; )
May God Bless and Keep You
"The west has their PM."
And we're very proud of him and the CPC tonight. God bless Canada!
D'oh, I identified her as being Conservative ... sorry.
Here's hoping a few more tip CPC before the counting is through. Frankly, it's astounding that the Liberals could win 100 seats -- looks like a lot of voters chickened out again.
Hee hee, had to post that after your post #1602 LOL
So if Robinson was a Liberal, what is Fry? NDP?
Some liberal weenie on Cspan from Montreal was just spouting Hillary stuff: No Canadian left behind
Canada has been given an opportunity, let's pray Harper doesn't squander it. The Liberals will regroup, and Harper must be ready to fend them off.
Thank you SouthTexas. We're feeling pretty good up here.
Martin conceded!!!! Congratulations to our conservative friends in Canada, Congratulations Canada.
No, it's the other way around. Robinson is the N-dippie, and Fry is the Lib.
