Well, It's Official...

We're doomed...

Yes, my Conservatives look to have won the election, but it is with a slim 15-20 seat lead. You know what that means: another minority government! Oh Goody!!

With the minority situation, this means that either Harper has to team up with the NDP (or even worse the Bloq) in order to get anything through the house, or we'll all be heading for the polls again very, very soon. Sadly, I believe it is the latter...

Even worse, it was suggested that the Liberals could team up with the NDP and form a coalition gorvernment to wrest power away from the Conservatives (and I believe Martin is desperate enough to try something like that). Apparently this is not without precedent as it was done back in the '20s, with poor results and a quickly collapsed government. Mind you, this idea was suggested by the 'quality' reporters at the Global Brodcasting Network so take it for what it's worth...

On a personal level, I am pleased to see that the Pierre Polievere, the Conservative MP in my former riding, was resoundingly re-elected with better than 50% of the vote! Conversely, I am disappointed that Alan Cutler, the Adscam Whistleblower, was defeated by the weak-minded people in my new neighbourhood and David McGuinty. I figured a much better result here since Cutler was the guy who blew the door off the Adscam Scandal, and the fact that McGuinty (or mcguilty as i have been calling him) is the brother of embattled Ontario Premier Dalton McGuilty, whom I had the impression more and more people disliked.

Oh well.

Having resigned myself to having another vote probably within another year, I can only hope that two things will happen. The first is that Paul Martin is tossed as leader of the Liberals and preferably run out of the country on a rail (the latter seems less likely). The second is that Harper and his gang use whatever time they have in power to uncover as many of the scams and schemes the Liberals had running as possible, and to punish all those possible, especially the MP's and cabinet ministers, with jail time!

Oh Hosannah!!!! Even as I type this, Martin is announcing his resignation as leader of the Liberals. Wow, I had never thought that one of my wishes would be answered so quickly.

Wow!!....just Wow!!!...
