“every candidate has the right to send an agent to each poll to observe the voting and the count.”

I work at a local newspaper and my boss has written editorials in favor of the NDP. When he went to vote this a.m., in Minister Cannon’s riding, the Conservative scrutineer recognized him and gave him a dirty look. :)

150 would absolutely fantastic! Not a majority but one can live with it.

Do NOT get me started on all of that nonsense. Just get rid of French Immersion and official bilingualism as a whole. Lamrock should be sent packing for more than his handling of FI. He is naught but arrogant and confrontational.

I ate in the same restaurant once as he did. He is actually very short, for the record. By the way, it is Lloyd Roberston.

“There’s still the West. That’s going to be a Conservative romp. “

That’s whatg I’m thinking — but Radio Canada just predicted a minority.

145 — keeping the faith. Wow, already a gain of almost 20 seats!

+11. That's what they need. I think it'll be close.

That's +10. I think 152 is the most they'll get, unless something changes in QB.

“13 to go!”

I still think (hope?) he can pull it off. In any case, PM Harper made gain in Toronto, of all places!

Next time, I seriously doubt he’ll announce funding cuts two weeks before an election.

Oh, Minister Cannon was reelected. Good news!
