If JimRob, etc. approve this is the Live Thread for the Canadian General Election, on January 23rd, 2005.

We have a while to go before the returns start coming in, but I thought the thread needed to get up and running.

The DU'ers are making excuses. They're saying that Canadians aren't moving to the right, they're just getting rid of a tired party.

[Alberta's Child]

Neither do I. A shift toward more power at the provincial level is probably the most likely change, since that's really the one big area of common ground between the Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois.

Back to 97 conservatives. Changes by the minute(CSpan)Now 99!

CBC just called it a Conservative Minority Gov't.
Well, we hoped for a majority, but this is the 2nd best
