I'm just happy the New Democratic Party is Official Opposition now, 102 seats from 37 seats is a huge triumph. Shows that many Canadians don't like Harper's "Bush's bitch" policies.
I'm American btw, so woop woop
Well I love that the NDP are where they are, but, with a majority for Harper means he pretty much has 4 years to do whatever the fuck he wants. Heres a very short summary of Conservative rule in Canada when it happened.
Conservatives history as the majority.
John Diefenbaker = scraps our air force budget and paves the way for US air force dominance and wasted our money on obselete missiles (bomarc) bought from the US.
Brian Mulroney = sold 23 of our 66 crown owned corporations(corps owned by the canadian gov.), sold to the US mainly., Allows American Express to form the AMEX Bank of Canada, he then makes GST[gross sales tax] (cover the cost of lost money from selling our corps and privatizing our corperate industry), then Free Trade which equates to Canada loosing more money from the tariffs of our borders to the US and Mexico. A decline in our health care shortly after because of cut backs and reducing cost.
Now
Stephen Harper = Soon to be privatized health care and who knows what else
