Well another Federal election done and dusted,
our fourth in seven years
...and what a result.
Quebec thumbed it's nose at convention,
finally deciding that separatism cannot be fought
by sending ineffective representation to Parliament, and voted
for the NDP.
Such a joke-vote out of Quebec was it NDP's Ruth Ellen Brosseau, who took a vacation to Las Vegas during the campaign, hasn't confirmed she's even visited her riding, and has questionable command of French, won the riding of Berthier - Maskinongé.
The Liberal Party received a sound trouncing reducing themselves to 34 seats from 77; with even leader, Michael Ignatieff losing his seat. Hard to believe but, as of this morning, he still hasn't resigned.
Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe did resign...
after his party went from 47 seats to 4 (not enough to even retain
party status).
So now we will have a majority Conservative government
with the official opposition being formed by the NDP...a first.
Let the games begin!
