    Wow! given the polls this is a great result. i did suggest that something was amiss and the Bloc vote has to be looked at as a disapointment.

    I wrote weeks ago that at 140 seat minority is really a majority.

    What an awesome result, given the performance of the opposition parties. More telling will be campaign debt, the Liberals and NDP will be be so far under as to be laughable, especially Dion. He still hasn't paid off his last campaign so I doubt he will be contesting an election any time soon, same for Jack Layton.

    A strong minority will be just as effective as a small majority. Mission accomplished. I'm glad the conservatives won. When you are doing a good job you get to keep it and make it stronger. Layton wanted stroger leadership, he should have been careful what he wished for, Stephen got it, not Jack.

    As to Dion, back to the drawing board, Added bonus, Garth Turner was blown away completely by his conservative opponent., a real classy lady with some business sense. The political Gods of justice have done some good work it seems.

    All the parties got an injection of fresh blood like a transfusion. Lets hope thery have their heads screwed on right and work as a team for the betterment of Canada and keep Canada a safe harbour amid the world economic storms ahead.

    Thanks for all of your hard work over the past few years. Your efforts made a big difference and I believe played a key role in last night's results.

    Jack Layton said he didn't win the gold medal. No, he finished out of the medals. If Layton only knew his vote came from Liberals, as did the Tory's, he could have been leader of opposition. Think of it, if he took 10 – 15 more seats from Libs, and he didn't hand Liberals 5 -10 Tory potential seats by swinging votes to them, he could have finished second.

    Mr Layton said he was running for prime minister, to deny Mr Harper a majority government. He lost the first battle, but won the second. In the process, he failed in a more doable mission to supplant the Liberals as the second party in Canada, to put in place the foundation for a future NDP federal government (one can dream right?). Instead, he tried to skip a step.

    His wreckless miscalculation consigns the NDP to again occupy only the fringe of Canadian federal politics, greatly weakened in the next parliament.
