a far cry from the 10% forecast by a lot of polls

You take what you can get. Its still a remarkable accomplishment. I almost thought they would snatch defeat again out of the jaws of victory. Not this time. They ran a great campaign. The Canadian people didn't trust them with a majority this time but wanted to give them a chance. Now they should make the most of it.

The West isn't in as much as Ontario and Atlantic Canada. Things will get better.

IMO it will not be easy for Mr. Harper to govern with those numbers.

Minority governments can be messy and unpredictable.

One thing though is that Albertas future is going to dominate Canadas future and Alberta is full of cowboys!

YeeeHaw!

Congratulations to Canada and to Alberta!

The West is in!
