Conservatives now run the Canadian Government

Your thoughts?

SOLDIERS ON OUR STREETS WITHIN A WEEK

Canadian? Where the heck is Canadia...?

You have conservatives in Canada?

Canadia has elections?

Canadia matters?

they barely won, so it's not like they'll be able to change much. then pretty soon the Canadians will forget about Martin's corruption and realize that the conservatives suck again, like they always do after a couple years under conservative rule.

Why hasn't anyone ever mentioned this Canadia place, before? WHAT ELSE HAVEN'T YOU TOLD ME!!!!!!!!!!

the chick in the crying game? man.

Well, I for one think that it's about time we had a change in parliament. I watched both English leaders' debates, and I was most impressed with Steven Harper. I think he can make some great changes to Canada. Only time will tell, though...

given what so-called "conservatives" have done to America after five years in power, I shudder to think what will become of Canada. But then, I barely know anything about Canadian politics; I just know that the Republican Party has nothing to do with small government. That said, I have noticed it is the tendency of politicians to favour small government while they are out of power, and large government when they are in power... and I agree with big government liberals' priorities a lot more than I agree with big government conservatives' priorities (really, "big government conservative" should be an oxymoron). One should note, however, that my political stance is closest to anarcho-socialism, or post-left anarchism.

Anyway. This probably won't affect me much on a direct level. But I'm not terribly pleased by this development, nonetheless.

Yes! The Liberals'll probably just oppose most of the legislation they try to pass. o_O I can't say I noticed if Canada was having a particularly torrid(er) time with the Liberals, for them to make so drastic a change in their government. I don't really know much 'bout it.

I'm jealous.

I VOTED NDP! Though in my riding Liberals won. For me that is a lesser of two evils. Steven Harper will never get my vote. I am sorry but someone who did not want same-sex marriage, wants to privatize medicare and what else have you not is not okay in my book.

Thank goodness it is only a minority gov't. All the Liberals need is the support of a few other members of opposition to counter any Conservative act. Most likely it will be the NDP seeing as they have more in common with the Liberals and have a tendancy to side with them more often than not than with the Conservatives (except for when they tried to do the whole vote of non-confidence thing).
