Alright people. Calm down. This is not the end of the world as we know it.

Yes the Conservatives hate gay people.
Yes the Conservatives want to illiminate any public funding that goes towards indigenous people.
Yes the Conservatives support the war on Iraq.

But let's not get out of hand here. After all we are Canadians. The political system as we know it is a parliamentary thank the Colonialists and as being such is no where like the Presidency Heirachy of the United States.

Conservatives were elected as a minority government (36.25% 124 seats) and although the Bloc Quebecois (10.48% 51 seats) (who are just the french conservatives) has also managed to gain a few seat they're pretty much separatists and have no intention of co operating with even the most sane of actions.
So combindedly they make approximately 46% of the vote.

As for the Liberals (30.22% 103 seats) and NDP (17.49% 29 seats) the combindedly make up about 47% of the vote. YES! Your observational skills are astute! That means combindedly those who oppose the silly gay hating, war mongering, national people killing ideologies of the actual elected government are greater than... which would mean that clearly those bills most detested of the Conservatives will not pass.

We will not see any significant changes.
What we will see are some new ideas that the Liberals were not getting to. For instance. the FAA is freaking ingenious.

What is the FAA you ask? It's the Federal Accountability Act, which in response to the recent scandels is a marvelous little act that will ensure all investigation of interior politics is handled by an individual group separate from the government. Will this eliminate foul play? Hellllz no. Politics are by nature corrupt.

What else can come from the Conservatives? We'll see, but since Canada has such a vast amount of representation (as opposed to a redicuolous unified one sided government) we're not going to be seeing any fires in the streets or gays being burned at the steak.


Why? Because as a minority government if the Conservatives propose any bills that are sure to be rejected by the House of Commons then there is the opportunity for opposing government parties to have a non-confidence vote and we'll go through another election but this won't happen because we're tired of elections. It's a drain on our resources and frankly we're just tired of hearing about the Liberals and Conservatives.

Conclusively. Canada Rules. Parliamentary Systems Rule. Lower Tuition fees Rule.

And more importantly and most hillariously....
There is 1 seat occupied by a Green Party Member. xD Most awesome.
We just elected a pot loving, idealistic hippy into the Parliament. Rocktastic I say, rocktastic.


Me?

I voted NDP. Olivia Chow... but I did so not in vain or arrogance. I believe firmly in community and not loosing focus in the sea of seats that Canada has but instead to look at the people competeing for your riding. These are the people that represent you. Not Joe Blow in Saskatoon.
