Canadian Election Results

CBC just made the call - Stephen Harper will lead a minority government in Canada and will be the next prime minister of Canada.


Since Ace is back, and blogging again, I think I'll call this post my last. I'd like to publicly thank Ace for including me in the motley band of guests whom he entrusted with his blog. It's been fun, and I'll see you all in the comments.

Well, then, I will be the first commenter on your last post.

Does Harper speak French?

Posted by: Dave in Texas on January 23, 2006 10:24 PM

Oui. (Although I don't really know, I do know he speaks the one language I know the Bloc Quebecois speaks: power).

Posted by: Harry Callahan on January 23, 2006 10:31 PM

It should be interesting to see what the Bloc does, considering Quebec threw a lot of support behind the Conservatives. They are obviously trying to get a cabinet appointment or two, but the strength of their showing also suggests Quebec is getting twitchy again.

Maybe another independence referendum in a few years?

Congrats, Canada!

Are the NDP further left than the Libs?

I'm going to Capt Quarters to see what his take on this is.
Ed must be beside himself.

As far as I can tell, the major parties in Canada range from moderate democrats (Lieberman) to moonbat lefitist liberal (Cynthia McKinney) in the political spectrum.

"Are the NDP further left than the Libs?"

Yes, but only to the same extent that Barbara Streisand is further left than Ace.

Can't believe after all the scandals, the Liberals still won 103 seats. Do Canadians not read their own media? Do they not want clean government?

Can't believe after all the scandals, the Liberals still won 103 seats. Do Canadians not read their own media? Do they not want clean government?

Atlantic (Eastern) Canada went Liberal because they saw the Conservatives ahead in the polls and generally buck the trends because they think that's what will give them a greater voice in the government (plus, they hate the rest of the country).
Ontario stayed Liberal because the Liberals have been pretty good to them (just not to the rest of the country).
Those factors, and a last minute surge from the NDP out West (knocking out Conservatives) is what kept the Conservatives from being handed a majority government.
The lesson is: Atlantic Canada blows.

In other news...

The U.S. administration, excited by the resurgence of right wing politics on the continent, has had a change of heart, and has decided to give back the $5 billion dollars in software lumber tariffs that were stolen from Canada.

Posted by: BC on January 24, 2006 11:13 AM

Sure, come to Maine and try to make that argument.

Go to Millinocket or Rumford and try to say that we "stole" $5 billion from Canada in tariffs on an industry that is heavily subsidized by the Canadian government.

I'm not crazy about tariffs, but your wording is imprecise at best.

Posted by: Slublog on January 24, 2006 11:26 AM

Apparently Canada doesn't listen to Michael Moore, either.

This isn't Christmas Eve fare, and I thought about waiting until the 26th to post it, but supposedly an amateur detective has solved the Zodiac killer mystery. And the horrific Black Dahlia killing. He says it's the same person! I always thought of them as very far apart in time but I think Black Dahlia was mid-fifties (nope, 1947) mid and the Zodiac murders began in 1968 so it's possible it's the same killer.

The killer, if it's the same man, would have been in his 20s when he killed the Black Dahlia and his 40s when he did the Zodiac murders. Possible.

A little caveat: I saw someone snark on Reddit, "The Zodiac case gets solved more often than Wordle." There are a ton of coincidences here, supposedly, like a Zodiac cipher being solved by the name "Elizabeth." Elizabeth Short was the name of the so-called Black Dahlia.

If you don't know about the Black Dahlia, don't look it up. Just accept that it's grisly on the level of Jack the Ripper.

Yes, the named suspect resembles the police sketch of Zodiac.

Here's a podcast with the amateur sleuth who claims he cracked the Zodiac.
