last night at 7pm the polling stations had just closed here in bc - which of course means that not a single vote had yet to be counted in this province. the living room tv was on and our election coverage began.... i had to chuckle when the 'breaking news' headline on the screen was already declaring a conservative majority... i'm glad my vote meant something! ha! ha!

As Tranny notes, in this case, BC did determine the final outcome. Harper was still short after the Prairies, but they were able to declare the majority because they knew the Conservatives would pick up more than enough seats in BC.
