No it doesn't. People wanted Harper out and no one likes Mulcair.

I initially thought Harper was making a big mistake in ignoring the NDP completely in his campaign, but Trudeau matched him lockstep in that, and the two of them simply squeezed Mulcair right out of the picture.

Actually I think Harper did make a huge mistake, I think all those anti Trudeau, which for me were the most memorable, just gave the liberals legitimacy, 'if Justin isn't ready why the hell does he scare the crap out of you so much?' was the question that those ads asked in reality.
I think the Tories effectively campaigned for Trudeau.

I think Harper will stay on as an MP but I don't expect him to be leading the Conservatives for much longer. They need new, fresh leadership to go up against the Liberals and Trudeau.

My riding of Edmonton Centre is starting to pull away for the Liberals.
I assume Randy Boissonnault will take a cabinet post if he holds on.

Mansbridge just conveniently ignoring the giant chunk of blue in Southern Ontario when saying that the country is split east/west again.

My point is even the left and right should use stats and evidence for decision making. Harper censored scientists and butchered stats Canada. Unforgivable to me.. Sorry :-)

I hope I'm wrong.

Disagree.
It's virtually legal in BC now. It's been legalized for recreational use in several states with more states considering legalization.
What makes you think it can't happen in Canada?

Kang has a pretty solid lead in Skyview, but it's still early.

It highlights how an election can be about personalities with Harper being the target. Clearly the anyone but Harper campain was the winner in all this.

In Southern Ontario - Cons take everything rural, Liberals take pretty much all the cities with the exception of Windsor which is all NDP.
