  • Canadian Elections

    Well I watched the Canadian elections last night and a major upset there was.

    First the Conservatives won a majority government.

    The NDP made a stunning advance and has taken over as the official opposition. Most of their gains were in Quebec.

    The Liberals lost tons of seats and their leader lost his seat. They are now at an all time low in their history.

    The Bloc won just 4 seats and has thus lost their standing as a political party. Their leader also lost his seat.

    The Greens won 1 seat which is also historic as it's the first time they have managed to get a seat in Parliament.
