Elections Canada ^ | N/A

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.

I better get something in the oven here or I'm going to be in deep trouble. My husband let me have the day off and I was supposed to shorten a pair of his dress pants and cook something. I have done neither. The pants are not going to get done either. BRB LOL!!

Within the next twenty to thirty years, many believe that France will become a Muslim-majority country.

That's statistically impossible. The only way that could possibly would be true would be if they counted by religious attendance, because few French Catholics actually go to church. That would still leave tens of millions of areligious Frenchmen with a European identity.

Life has to go on, either way.

Get it all done, and get back!

Per my reserch, the polls in the Atlantic provinces close at 7:30 EST. So I don't think there are any exit polls to report , if they are doing exit polls, or absentee or prevoting ballot counts, if they precount them. But there may be in two minutes.

Captain's Quarters seems to be down, probably traffic

Roy, about 5 retrys go me on, but nothing new so far.

I wonder if liberal Canadians will start another "We're sorry" crying website, like American liberals did after kerry's loss.

I wonder where American liberals quitters will move to now? Venezuela? Cuba perhaps?

[wardaddy]

They want a completely amoral society.

and they have one....

What is odd is how they have transferred real morality for that of redress for any minority....racial, ethnic, religious, sexual and their absolute worship of the rather vague impersonal concept of "nature" with animals at higher rank than humans.

kill a puppy and go to jail.....kill a 39 week term baby with it's head peering out from between murdering mom's thighs and it's a RIGHT TO BE CELEBRATED.

in some way Pat is right....we bring God's scorn on ourselves

Any word on how things are going? It was awefully warm in AB today, hopefully it was good and cold elsewhere to keep the libs in. Though, I imagine things will turn out great for the conservatives in AB.

The majority of births in France are Muslim. How long do you think it will take for Muslims to be the majority? Probably more than 20-30 years, more like 50.

From G&M:,

risk if the Tories win, Martin tells voters at stops in B.C.

From Monday's Globe and Mail

RICHMOND, B.C. — Liberal Leader Paul Martin wrapped up a trouble-plagued campaign in British Columbia yesterday warning that a Conservative government would undo a Liberal legacy of social programs and fiscal prudence.....

Reading that, it sounds like he's pitching for Harper.

Do they not release polling info as they close East to West?

Tories leading in swing East Nova district in Nova Scotia. Tories up 7% in Newfoundland. Not clear if Tories will pick up a seat in Newfoundland.
