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.

Few people remember that Norm MacDonald began his career as a ventriloquist
MacDonald's old partner Adam Egot revealed that MacDonald repurposed a bit with one of his ventriloquist dolls -- that he was a "bad guy" who "didn't believe the Holocaust happened" -- for the Norm MacDonald show, in which he claimed Egot didn't believe in the Holocaust.
Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?"

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...

@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
spidermanthreatormenace.jpg

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
