Victory

[wampa 18]

Yay! The Election's over and we can all get back to our lives. Conservative victory again! Unfortunatley, NDP won in Thunder Bay, dooming us to another 4 years on the back bench without a voice for the north in Ottawa. Some people just can't seem to figure this out.

[Guest deerhunting101]

Good old Thunder Bay will never learn. I guess all the mills in town will have to close before they figure out the NDP will never be able to do anything for them when they are not the goverment or at least the official opposition. If they wound have voted Conservative then maybe the Goverment would have sent some programs and funds to keep the seats. but why would they now. Oh well they will never learn.

If everybody was a simple populist and voted with whoever was going to win, nothing would ever change. Good on Thunder Bay for sending voices to Ottawa that actually represent the people of Thunder Bay at this time. There was absolutely no way Thunder Bay was going to elect a conservative, nor should they support a party not representative of the values of Thunder Bay just because they are the governing party.

The Conservatives have been the best government that I have seen in a long time. One of the first things they did when Harper became P.M was extend benefits to all hepititis c victims and I was impressed. They want to scrap the long gun registry. They cut the GST. They gave us parents the universal child care benefit. They did income splitting for older Canadians. They are claiming our sovernty in the Artic. They are tough on crime. And they are good with the economy. What more do the people in Thunder Bay want from a government???????? 37 NDP elected in all of Canada and T.Bay put in 2 of them. NDP is a 4th place party who wants to wreck the economy and ban guns. Way to go Thunder Bay, you left us with a whimper in parliment. At least Kenora figured it out.

"They want to scrap the long gun registry"

I don't know about you hardcare but "Want" is not an action and as far as I am concerned, they have not acted on getting RID of the long gun registry.

The thing that gets me about the Conservative Government is the actions they show to everyday Canadians such as "They cut the GST. They gave us parents the universal child care benefit. They did income splitting for older Canadians. They are claiming our sovernty in the Artic. They are tough on crime. And they are good with the economy" is nothing compared to the billions of dollars of tax savings and hand outs for big business they have handed out over the years.

As far as I am concerned it was voting for the less of all of the evils. LOL

Unfortunately,with a Minority gov.. we in the North will never be heard,no matter what party is in office....still swinging a small bat while trying to play in the big leagues !!!!! You have no clout in parliment unless you get the internal vote your way !!!

yeah hardcore, the good old conservaties. lyon brian mullroney sold this country down the tubes with the free trade agreement, screwed us on the air bus scandal, and then held the us presidents hand and sang along with him, {when irish eyes are shining}. yeah the good old conservatives. my rear end is still sore from the mulroney era. maybe harper will at least have the balls to use vasaline when he cornholes me.

[fishman1 164]

Just look at the results of the election. They almost had a majority government. I know that my vote counted regardless of the local outcome. And to eveybody who voted way to go!!!!!!! It was sad to see so many not vote.

so true.

[Buck 120 32]

I have to agree with you there. I believe we have an obligation to vote. People take it for granted, all you have to do is watch the workd politics to see people that do not even have the right. It should be law.

[NWO Fishing Bum 2]

I too believe we should have a law that eligible voters have to vote, as is the case already in some western democracies.

The Conservatives would have had a Majority except for the Bloc who don't even want to be a part of Canada. What does this tell you. It tells me still that the Majority of True Canadians believe in the Conservative party. In my mind they got their Majority. Get rid of the Bloc and get this country moving in a possitive direction.

[Buck 120 32]

I would not consider a voter turnout under 60% as the majority of Canadians, I would say the majority of those who happened to vote! LOL

[Buck 120 32]

To people who complain about the government, I say if they did not vote, they have no right to complain.

[Some Old Guy 968]

That's pretty much the only reason I voted. I now have the right to complain!

Yay, way to go Harper.

Way to call an election when one wasn't scheduled... costing taxpayers untold millions of dollars to change... what? Switch a couple seats in certain ridings, to once again have your minority government?

Dion is about to be toppled (and rightfully so). I think this is the closest that the PCs will ever come to a majority. I for one am not interested in having a Bush lackey in the PM's office, so the sooner he's out... the better.
