They should keep Dion.

It would make me happy.

Worst flood since 1973 if I remember correctly.

Yeah. The river was up to Queen Street in Fredericton. Officer's Square was under three feet of water.

But Bob Rae as leader would be a gift. In Ontario the Tories could run on his record.

How do you go from 99 seats at dissolution to 76? He has a lot to answer for!

CTV ... overall ... yes. However, their Ottawa Bureau Chief, Robert Fife, is obviously biased and CTV seems to condone his take on the CPC.

Worst flood since 1973 if I remember correctly. I was in the flood of 1973. I remember riding my Norton Motorcycle down the River Road ( Then TCH) and the water level with the pavement for most of the way. Memorable ride. Like doing 70 on the beach.

LOL.

I kind of wish we did have provisions for coalition minority governments in Canada. It’d be interesting to see just how long it would take for a Lib-NDP coalition to fall apart. Probably less than a year, I’d guess.

That would suck.

My Mom's on a hill in Woodstock, too. Good thing.

“There’s NO chance of an opposition coalition government happening.”

That’s great to hear!

Have you read the book “Braking Point” by Mario Cardinal?

It’s about the 1995 referendum. The author’swriting style gets a little dense but all in all, it’s fairhande treatment of the whol referndum.

Some moron on CBC just said that Harper will be leaving government in a few months. They must have some kind of great drugs!

The Liberals poor finish just assures they won't get to form a government. And in their shadow sit the Bloc and the New Democrats.

Let’s try that again...

The book’s name is “Breaking Point” - not “Braking Point”.

The CBC Lefties are shell-shocked. None of this was supposed to happen! The polls predicted it would be a nail biter contest and it wasn't!

Now CBC is saying that Steve Harper will be so disappointed by his performance that he may resign in six months
