From what I've read (and I am a major novice when in comes to Canuck politics), the Bloc HATE the Liberals. Assuming Harper is nice to Quebec, they are willing to give him five full years to govern and not support any non-confidence motion.

A CBC commentator was saying that the BQ losing votes will make it harder for the Quebec sovereignty movement. This makes sense. I also think the CPC winning is going to make things hard for the western canada separatist movement too. Now the west will have much more of a say in Ottawa politics where before it was feeling powerless. On many fronts, Canada is much better off as a nation, starting tonight.

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.
