Still, it is interesting to see the Conservatives gain in Quebec. But it's still saddening to watch the Bloq gain as well.
The Liberals need to clean house completely. No more hold overs from the Chretien regime. Dion makes then entire party look like a bunch of buffoons with absolutely no connection to the people of Canada. If the Conservatives hold that position, you know something is wrong in Ottawa :P

I kind of find it disturbing, if only because the phrase "Tories" tends to make one think of the old elitist, nepotistic and establishment-based Conservative party of years past, in essence, the conservative version of the Liberal party... rather than a dynamic, progressive, libertarian, yet right of centre group of pragmatists that they claim to be now.
