Well?

Well the fat lady has sung. For me it boils down to three things:

1/ Svend is not my MP. I don't have to move.

2/ Binder Boy is our next PM. Boring, but at least he'll treat our neighbors with some respect. I look forward to seeing him clearing brush at the ranch.

3/ Our NEXT PM won his riding. Hold onto your hats ... I think I'll be getting the first candidate I can stand behind wholeheartedly since Trudeau ... go Ignatieff go!

Says alot if you stood behind Trudeau.

Well for me, the worst possible outcome was a Conservative majority. The second worst possible outcome was a Conservative minority which could not be outvoted by the NDP and Liberals combined. The third worst possible outcome was a Conservative minority who could be outvoted by the NDP and Liberals. And the third worst it is. Sweet! 124 CPC versus 132 NDP/Liberal. This means that unless there's a CPC/BQ coalition, CPC is powerless and can do Canada no harm.

And for British Columbians, there's an added bonus. Five CPC ridings were lost to the NDP or Liberals including the riding held by sleazy CPC MP and campaign chair John Reynolds.

And more good news for British Columbians. The three BC CPC candidates who were religious fanatics and openly anti-gay and anti-abortion, namely Darrel Reid in Richmond, John Weston in West Vancouver and Cindy Silver in North Vancouver, all went down to defeat. And in the City of Vancouver, only about 20% of the population voted CPC and all NDP and Liberal candidates were re-elected.

Despite gaining seats in Central Canada in yesterday's election, Harper actually lost seats in Western Canada.

In the months to come, it should be interesting to watch as Harper panders to Quebec while he does nothing for the West. Deja vu. Joe Clark, Brian Mulroney.
