We'll see. I think its going to be around 140-150? Maybe not a majority. But a significant improvement compared to the Conservatives last numbers!

Alberta I think will clinch the majority. With 142 they need +14 to attain it.

I can only hope. I guess NB’ers don’t want an increased federal GST on top of an increased provincial HST or a federal carbon tax on top of a provincial carbon tax. Hmmm, go figure. That being said, it is obvious that there are still too many sheep here.

Somewhere in the 140s sounds right. The Libs may or may not crack 80.

FanFan, thanks for the Labatt’s earlier.

I was out this evening and just got back. Looked over the CBC’s web site and couldn’t quite get a handle on your elections.

It looks like the Tories are having a good evening.

Are gaining any seats in the Maritimes or Quebec?

With 142, they need 14+ to get an absolute majority.

It is their leader that is the problem. I can barely understand the guy. Plus, who proposes a big tax heading into a recession? As if any Canadian wants to pay more for gas. My Mom even switched her vote from Liberal to PC and her father ran and won as a Liberal candidate years and years ago.

Agreed. We’re again in a position where it takes *all* opposition parties to band together to defeat him. With the Liberal Party now looking at insolvency, expect them to abstain from all the confidence votes. This result is as good as a majority IMO.

Then there’s all that screaming about French Immersion (Lamrock must wear a Kevlar suit.) The Gleaner editorial page is full of it.

The projections have been wrong so far. Let's not count our chickens til the dust is settled! ;-)

Yes, and Ontario too.

I don’t think we will get our Majority, but we did very well.

Sorry if the beer got warm.
