At work tonight, crazy busy. Wandered over to the customer lounge and almost spit out my coffee when I saw what has happened to the dirty Liberals and The Bloc. I can live with Layton being the head of the opposition. At least the guy is willing to play ball and negotiate for the better good.... sometimes. Who would have ever thought he could pull this off. This is shaping up to being a great day in Canadian politics, and finally this Country is kicking the trashy scum to the curb.

You are aware that Edmonton is more than just Strathcona, right? I'll show you on a map if you'd like.

Not sure what's better, the election or the Phi/Bos overtime.

If it's a majority, we won't have one for 4 years.

gotta hand it to Layton. I guess when your debate technique consists of snapping off one-liners and your platform is all about promising the moon, it pays off.

4 years of Stephen Harper in a majority government, this could get ugly.

Liberals will go with Justin Trudeau. They'll win on the hipster votes alone.
