Election Results

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing (I won't tell you who I voted for) but I suppose Harper has his good points. I mean let's be positive about this, he's not going anywhere anytime soon.

But first the election results (from Canoe.ca):
Format: (Leading/Elected Seats-Vote)
Conservatives(143-37%), Liberals (76-26%),
Bloc (50-9%), NDP (37-18%), Green (0-6%)

If you could attribute just on primary motivator to each party, then I suppose Conservatives could be credited with being concerned with work and jobs, while the Green party represents taxing polluters. Well the public has spoken and it seems we're more concerned with the present than our children's futures.

Nobody is to blame for this however, what with the economic crisis at hand. It's understandable why people want things left as is, stability is (among other things) a sort of safety net in a world otherwise uncertain.

Hopefully however the Green party will take this tremendous loss as a lesson and comeback swinging next election with a more aggressive stance. And hopefully we will listen.
