Ignatieff, Duceppe step down. I was so happy to see the separatist party get destroyed. It has no place in federal politics.

It's official: Ignatieff lost his own riding. Liberal leadership convention to follow...

Our Conservative Party is generally seen as being somewhat liberal.

Elizabeth May's seat has been confirmed. She will be able to debate in the next election.

The Conservatives won a majority government. What's historic is the NDP's gain! They are Canada's official opposition. This has never happened! Also, the Liberals have faced their biggest loss ever; Michael Ignatieff isn't even winning in his own riding. The Bloc's leader also lost his own...

The election has been so intense! History has been made. Crazy stuff! Very exciting. :)

Just came back from voting. :) It will be interesting to watch the results come in tonight!

I apologize. I didn't hear that part. Caption on CNN is slow. :) I stand corrected. :P

Killed in Pakistan in a firefight. Retrieved the body. He's dead. <---- All he had to say. The ten minute speech was quite redundant.

Awesome news! :)

I was aware of their attacks against the NDP. I also know that it's not to the extent of their previous attacks against the Liberals.

Agreed (bold). Notice how the Conservatives went out of their way before the election to attack Ignatieff and the Liberals. This is because they posed a genuine threat to the Conservatives, and they knew it. The Conservatives have not yet initiated a full out attack on the NDP. I'm not sure...

To be honest, I don't think that the Conservatives believe the NDP poses a threat. The Conservatives' attacks on the NDP have been kept at a minimum. The new NDP voters = old Bloc, Liberal voters who have switched. In ridings that are currently Liberal, the vote will now be divided between the...

I wasn't aware of this. Fortunately, I rarely have to drive anywhere. :)

Indeed. However, I do think that the NDP's new found fame could work out well for the Conservatives in the end. They might just get their majority after all.

Agreed. I'm not familiar with Flaherty's policies, so I don't really have an opinion on whether or not the Conservatives should appoint a new finance minister.

I'm on the fence. I don't really want the Conservatives to have too much power, but at the same time, I don't want the coalition to form a government. I think that a Conservative majority might just happen tomorrow night. Stranger things have happened!

Congrats, Lissa. :)

I was pretty thankful. I had a little over $20, but I had to buy some groceries to bring over to a friend's house. I'm going to ask my parents for a little bit of leniency when it comes to paying them this month. *Fingers crossed*

Learned that my account has a mere $12 in it. Wonderful. If I knew I had so little, I might have watched my spending. I just never thought to check the balance. My job doesn't start until June, so I'm screwed for now. :|
