You forgot the one seat that was Independent out in BC.

I'm just glad it's finally over. I'm in the Kings-Hants riding that was getting national attention because of Brison moving across the floor to the liberals. And he won. People here love him. We held a debate at our school with the candidates from Liberal, Conservative, NDP, and Green Party. I was impressed by Brison, he was the only candidate that didn't engage in mudslinging or childish name calling. But I just bet he wanted to yell this out...

[Bob Mullan, Torrie] Where did all the money from the sponsorship scandal go?
[Scott Brison, Grit] I wasn't in the party at the time, how the hell would I know?

In order to get the 155 seats that the Liberals will need in order to pass any legislation through, they'll need not only the NDP, but likely the one Independent that won from BC.

Correction, It is 97 seats for the Conservatives.

I was mainly disappointed in the Bloc's showings. this is a dark day for the "No" vote.
I am most disappointed in the fact that David Pratt did not get re-elected, he was the best Defense Minister that Canada has had since the 1970's.

I was happy that my vote counted though, it helped my Liberal Candidate Geoff Regan (Fisheries Minister) to hold on to his seat. I was also pleased to see Michael Savage get the seat in Dartmouth-Cole Harbour. Savage is the son of former NS Premier John Savage, and has shown that he is every bit as competant as his father was.

On the flip side of things, I am so glad that Tony Valerie (Transport Minister) did not keep his seat. He may be Liberal, but he is the slimyest Liberal in the Caucus. good ridance.

But most of my predictions came true: Quebec's hatred of the Conservatives and the NDP resulted in their throwing their votes to the Bloc. Atlantic Canada shut out most of the Conservatives and voted Liberal. The Liberals maintained a solid minority to retain government. the NDP did not grow that much. And the Conservatives only grew by the same rate that they have for the last decade: in spurts of about 8 to 15 seats per election.

Now lets see how well Martin can pull this off.

(Quick question: did Tony Clement and Belinda Stronach get in?)

I don't know about Stronach, but when I was watching CTV around midnight A.S.T, they projected Clement as having lost, so I'd have to say he didn't. I'm too lazy to doublecheck.

So basically, voters all over the country...

-Defaulted to Martin
-Humored Harper
-Fled to Duceppe
-And admired Layton's hustle but still found him too creepy.

Yeah... he kind of has that look about him that says: "I just did your sister, and now I'm gonna do you!"
