I think the NDP made such gains because the liberal leadership has been so lousy the last few years. That and Im soooo glad to see the bloc with 4 seats. @ Purplehazex, You essentially do for everything on the provincial level. Every rule for the rest of Canada has exceptions and differen't process in quebec. On the federal level, quebec will not seperate until they are willing to take accountability as a country. The last time Quebec tried to seperate they essentially told Canada that they would take care of everything except Transfer payments and Defense. If you want to be a seperate country, thats fine, but that means losing around 8.5 billion a year in government subsidies from other provinces and spending your own funds for an armed forces. Which, as far as I am aware, Quebec could not afford to lose those transfer payments or fund an armed forces. Those are major hurdles to climb That and convincing a good portion of quebecers that dont want to seperate to become "Quebecois" instead of Canadians. | ||

Actually, come to think of it, 60% of the population does understand that. Yay, FPTP. In other news, Harper wows to pass internet spying bill within 100 days of being elected. | ||

I'm also pleasantly surprised to see the bloc get booted. It's because the Bloc could never get the job done. As much as I hate Harper and the Conservatives he is what my family needs to keep business going well and no tax hikes. Hopefully the Liberals wake up soon and get worthy leadership and a good platform. -_- | ||

In 2007, Harper cut $1.2 Billion for quality national childcare. He never kept his promise to cut the $1.4 billion in tax breaks he gives to oil companies The Kelowna accord was a $5 billion breakthrough agreement to improve the quality of health and education for Canada's First Nation's Peoples. Harper canceled it in 2006, immediately after taking office Harper cut science research funding by $138 Million Stephen Harper wants to buy 65 stealth fighter jets with 29 billion of our dollars? Idk just look it up there's worthy articles everywhere | ||

That something will, sadly, be nothing good, if you're a woman, a minority, are planning on getting sick, or care about your privacy. Or the integrity of our democracy, come to think of it. | ||
