I'm happy with the results, I would have been happier with a majority, but this election is devastating for the Liberal party as they lost a lot of steam in Ontario and everywhere. The NDP made some gains, but it was a meh increase against a rudderless Liberal party, and the Conservatives strengthened their position and gives them a chance with a new mandate to govern since the Liberal's are going to want to avoid an election until they can get a new leader and refill their bank.
Elizabeth May lost, the Greens didn't gain a seat and 9% total popularity was not a strong showing, they need to re-evaluate her role as the leader.
What can I say about the Box, Duceppe did what he promised that he would do, and ran a solid campaign.
Dion's shot against CTV was a rare display of temper, and probably misplaced.
Good speech by Dion, affirms support for working with the standing government and focusing on the economy, pretty much a white flag of surrender.
