I popped on the television to the CBC and saw that the Conservatives have a "majority" win. The number of seats needed for a majority is 155... the Conservatives had 166 at the point of my tuning in. Not to dismiss this result, and I won't, but the stunning part of all this is the fact that the NDP party has so far -- the votes out west are still being counted -- captured 105 seats (!). Wow! Of course, this is fluid, and the final tallies will not be known for a couple of hours.
The Liberal Party of Canada will be in rebuild mode.
Congrats to Stephen Harper. I do not like him and a lot of his policies, but it does not matter. Canadians voted. It will be interesting to see how many eligible voters did the deed....
