The Sun Also Rises in the West

Imagine there will finally be a Prime Minister in this country that is not from a lawyer from Quebec. I can hardly believe it and ten conservative seats in Quebec. It feels too much like Twlight Zone time. The youngest got up in the morning and asked if the price of candy bars will go down or stay the same.

People can talk about a “weak” minority or a small minority but the bald face fact is that there will not be another election anytime soon. Neither the Bloc nor the Liberals cannot afford to have an election in the next 18 month as the wallets are empty and the line of credit has just dried up. The Liberal party is in shambles and shackled with some serious debt to pay off while the Conservative Party of Canada remains liquid and fluid.

If there was a disappointment tonight it is that the Maritimes continues to lag behind the rest of the country and Ontario is completely bipolar. I am a little disappointed that the Liberals continued to win 30% of the seats up for grabs. I had expected to see a much stronger NDP with the infusion of Liberal blood and it just didn’t happen. What’s wrong with these people?

Imagine property rights enshrined in the Canada constitution. All I can say is – bring it on Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
