Canadian General Election, Live Thread (UPDATE: Conservatives Win!)

Elections Canada ^ | N/A

[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.

[Canadian Outrage]

Absolutely. Martin has a target painted on his back! All is not well within the Liberal Party. I dare say, we shall get to see Paul Martin pout tonight!! Perhaps this egomaniac will just have a complete nervous breakdown. It will literally kill him to be gracious that's for sure. And Manley, Tobin and Copps will be first in line for target practice.

[Antioch]

Encouraging report Antioch!! What is your district btw?

Trinity Spadina. Chock full of hippies, moral relativists, depressed metrosexuals and nanny state addicts . Its going to be hammer and tongs all the way

[Preston Manning]

Inspired by Preston Manning, I am compelled to post the lyrics to his theme music from the 1997 campaign...

Right Now (Van Halen)

Don’t wanna wait til tomorrow,
Why put it off another day?
One more walk through problems,
Built up, and stand in our way ,ah
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, don’t dream about yesterday, hey
C’mon turn, turn this thing around
Right now, hey
It’s your tomorrow
Right now,
C’mon,it’s everything
Right now,
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm,
And nothing falls into place, no
Only missed by a fraction,
Slipped a little off your pace, oh,
The more things you get, the more you want,
Just trade in one for the other,
Workin so hard, to make it easier, whoa,
Got to turn, c’mon turn this thing around
Right now, hey
It’s your tomorrow
Right now,
C’mon, it’s everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
It’s enlightened me, right now
What are you waitin for
Oh, yeah, right now
(solo)
Right now, hey
It’s your tomorrow
Right now,
C’mon, it’s everything
Right now,
Catch that magic moment, and do it right,
Right now
Right now, oh, right now
It’s what’s happening?
Right here and now
Right now
It’s right now
Oh,
Tell me, what are you waiting for
Turn this thing around



Sniff...still gets me every time.

Wow, fanfan. I like the layout of the spreadsheet.
Are you planing to post periodic updates throughout the eve??

[GiveEmDubya]

Less than 15 minutes for the Newfies (((BUMP)))

[Milhous]

Does that mean that it will be O.K. for Canadians Conservatives to be anti-American if Hillary Clinton were to win in 2008??

Yes.

[Beagle8U]

Hildabeast wont win in 2008, and Martin wont win tonight, you have nothing to worry about.

[fanfan]

One thing I don't understand is the true hatred some of the Canadians have for Bush and the US because we are such a similar people it seems to me. Leftists throughout the western world hate Bush because Bush symbolizes conservatism.

No that's not it....leftists hate Bush for the same reason they reject God.

They are ashamed.

[JWojack]

Although, in regards to our other neighbor, Mexico, Vincente Fox is considered to be conservative there. (And in France, Chirac is considered conservative, too). So imagine what what liberals are like in those areas!

Hoping for good results tonight in Canada! I don't know what the conservatives stand for in Canada, but moving to the right is generally a good thing.

I wonder what Belinda Stronach must be thinking right now?

[RightWhale]

Today is the first sunrise of the year in Barrow, Alaska. Perhaps the elections in Canada tomorrow will be their first political sunrise in many years.

[Canadian Outrage]

I seen several Americans state that "if" Hellary were ever elected (which would be unlikely in middle america) that it would for sure cause an American Revolution!!

[Preston Manning]

She's thinking..."Is it too late to switch back?"

[Roy Wilson]

Belina is done like diner.

[kanawa]

Thread Bump, Be back in a bit....

[Canadian Outrage]

OY!!!

[CaptainCanada]

It was a hypothetical..
That said, don't get overly confident like y'alls did in 1992..

[Beagle8U]

"I wonder what Belinda Stronach must be thinking right now?"

I'll bet her A-H*le is puckered to the point of not being able to take a 10 penny nail.

Mental illness repects no borders. These people consider themselves citizens of "the planet."
