Alberta would leave without question. This would play right into the non-cheese eaters hands as Mark Steyn clearly states.

Remus, What I am saying is now is the time for the Conservatives to recognize where the growth lies. Harper stated, "we need the red Tory vision of social programs." He only said it once as far as I know and did not say it loud enough. If the Conservatives fail here, well, you can see a Canada where the NDP or Bloq have more influence in Canada. We can't keep watching a rump party flow between fifty and a hundred seats like the NDP flows from eight to twenty back and fourth decades after decades going nowhere. What is better in Alberta eyes, the Red Tory vision within a party or the NDP's vision in government?

If ones goals are to become a slightly bigger rump ya Jacks done it! He did nothing for the NDP Party except give them more tax payers money via the Cretien Election Law. That was the goal of the Green Party too. Ah, success. Harper at least admitted disappoinment and just confirms how deluded the NDP is when they celebrate this election. No record number of seats, not even the balance of power. Has any dipper expressed disappointment?

I think Albertans should realize that Ontario now has the exact same representation in the Conservative caucus. All those years of being the predominate voice in caucus has ended. Ontario has just said we want in.....to the party. I guess you should be carefull of what you wish for. This time Ontarios voice is equal, next time Alberta may be the minority in caucus and have very little influence. If Quebec gets on board further influencing the party.....well you can see where this is going. Bye -Bye Alberta dominated party. We are really just two elections away from becoming Progressive Conservatives again, as Urban Ontario and the east and Quebec invade it. This is what Conservatives are hoping for when they wish to form government. Once you elect enough from these regions (Toronto,Quebec, Atlantic) they become the shaping force of the party. Think about it Albertans, no where else to grow. Change or be changed, we have reached the glass ceiling.

Cheryl Gallant won her seat Randy White won his seat Scott Reid won his seat Any body else? Central Canada may not like it but two of them are representing Ontario ridings and had the guts to speak about social issues and won. Good for them.

Add three more firsts for the Conservative Party. Along with the first ever female cabinet member we can now boast of the first female Indo-Canadian elected to parliament. The first elected person with a physical disability and the first husband and wife. The party labeled as harmful to minority rights keeps on doing what no other party does, giving them a voice in the House of Commons. The bigot Scott Brison will not be missed.

don't forget Atstatic Canada

john reynolds moved in front

Hey folks don't get too upset it may be that the liberals may not do it 135 with the NDP19

Just a few words, I'm not a superstitious person but I observed a few interesting "omens" on voting day. I don't feel silly considering the G&M consulted witches and astrologers prior to the vote. Before voting I had to mail a box to Winnipeg. After about 20 Mins In line some guy behind me says, "where is the Fed-X outlet?". Then I thought "WOW" Canadians refuse to stand in line for mail service at the Government run outlet but may very well vote to stand in line for health services at the government run outlet. This guy knew instinctively to opt for better service and said so. Nobody chastized him for saying it and wishing for an American company to lessen his waiting time. Maybe this will be manifest in the election too, I thought. The church I voted in was on Stockwell Drive....Interesting. I came back home to find no audio on CBC Newsworld. I could see Don Newman and Norman Spector but no sound . I laughed out loud at the Liberal mouthpiece silenced on election night........Spooky. Well we will see if there is anything to it.

Tories.....133 Libs........111 Bloq........48 NDP........16

Does this sound familiar Closet Conservatives perhaps?

Reverend, I think you should read this in the hated Star. I have no problems with this guy being PM. He is not a social conservative, he defeated them when he was elected leader of the Alliance.

Let me see if I can interject into this verbal circle jerk. Is Harper Canadas' GW Bush? Well that is deep man, lets see. Daddy was a leader of his Nation = Bush Daddy was an accountant = Harper Daddy was a Minister in his Nation = Martin Bush = Became rich with the help of rich friends Harper = not rich Martin = Became rich with the help of rich friends Bush = biggest tax cut in nations history Harper = proposes 1/3 cuts Martin implemented Martin = biggest tax cuts in nations history Bush = Destruction of financial center, Two wars and corporate scandals leads nation to increase its debt. Harper = wants to give the surpluses to Canadians, Provinces, Military. Martin = cuts social spending transfers and gives money to his company $160 million, Party ad firms $250 millon, has no desire to end fiscal imbalance. Ok so do you remember Sesame Street when they played the game "one of these things is not like the other", obviously not a popular game with future detractors, but play anyway.

Ceasar See way back in the early to mid 90's through to 2000 Canada was number one on this scale. Now we have actually dropped below the US. So Bono can say the world needs more Canada but what he meant is more Canda as it was after Mulroney not now after 11 years of Liberal rule. We're # 8! behind the US on a scale that is valued by lefties, do some research then get back to me.
