My thoughts on tonight which has a lot of wins for me.
Congrats to the Conservatives on gaining a majority and gaining about 24 seats to do so. Thank god for an end to the minority governments for a while.
congrats to Jack Layton. Look, I think his platform was absolutely terrible, but he represents a change in the house and a refreshing in the house. Its up to him now to see if he can carry on the momentum over the next four years.
The destruction of the Liberal Party is not such a terrible thing. Its not that I hate the Liberal Party, I hate what they've become, and arrogant parasitic party with no new ideas. A party where back stabbing is the key to survival. At this point, Ignatieff has to go, he lead the party to its worst finish in a loooooong time. Bob Rae has to eat a big sh%t sandwich, this was his platform, this was his fault for shorting out the democratic process and putting Ignatieff into government. Justin Trudeau cannot be seen as the easy heir to the party leadership, they need to find someone that can control the party and come up with a platform that resonates with Canadians.
Good bye to the Bloc, I've always said that Duceppe is a favorite of mine, but at the end of the day Quebec came out and stated that they are more interested in saying that they want to be a part of Canada then not. With the loss of official party status they lose everything and I'm not sad to see that happen.
And congrats to Elizabeth MAy on gaining a seat, you're mouthy, and rude and you don't bring much value, but I'm happier that the Green finally got some representation.
I'm extremely happy about this result.
