I really don't think I'll be able to watch Jackie's speech without barfing, given what a smug jerk he is. What he doesn't know yet is that he has big problems now, he's got over 100 nut jobs he has to manage now, 61 of them from Quebec. He can't get away with spouting his usual nonsense anymore, as not just the lunatic fringe will be listening and watching him. Time to celebrate - good night everyone!

A Conservative majority. It just doesn't get any better. Looking forward to having the failing Gun Registry done away with!

What an awesome thing; the demise of a party that was hell bent on nothing but breaking up our country. Canada just got that much stronger.

Quebec is gonna bear watching now ... remember how it damn near destroyed Mulroney when he messed with constitution issues and how the provincial Bloc rose up against him?? Layton has himself a helluva responsibility now to keep Canada together. This will be interesting to say the least.

That's an interesting point Barbie. First all I must say I am absolutely delighted with todays outcome on all fronts, and am not inclined to try to make anyone on either side eat crow. We now have a majority government, the Bloc is for all intents and purposes gone from the federal scene, and the whole concept of a coalition no longer hangs over our heads. We can in effect look forward to 4 years of stability, at least on the federal scene (provincial scene who knows LOL).

But to your point, Jack Layton has been blessed (?) with a significant challenge in managing a far more diverse caucus than I expect even he anticipated in his wildest dreams. And it is going to be interesting to see if he is up to the challenge. And for how long.
