On Twitter I’ve read that one of the Canadian networks (not CBC or CTV) called a Conservative majority.
OK, now CTV has called it — Harper wins a majority.
CTV just called Conservative majority- 164 seats so far.
10:57 EST:
Conservative: 165
NDP: 103
Liberal: 165
Bloc Quebecois: 4
Yay!!! Finally a majority!! I prefer a small majority though so the government stays more accountable.
Make that Liberal: 31
165 seats?! Awesome!
Congratulations. Given the choice between Harper and Comrade Obama, I’d take Harper 7 days a week.
CBC is the lone holdout now.
10:51 PM EST:
CBC declares a Conservative Majority government.
10:51EST - cbc just called it :)
Not anymore, CBC joins the rest and calls a Conservative majority.
Congratulations to the Canadian freepers.
Conservative majority, Liberals cratering, Bloc wiped out, Ignatieff losing his own seat — you must be having a great night so far!
Thank-you! I am very happy tonight. The Harper government has made some missteps in the past that even I (being a Harper supporter) didn’t like but hopefully he’ll do much better going forward with this new government. He is a good guy, a real conservative, friend of Israel, and good on the world stage. He represents our country well (imho). :)

I am one Happy Canadian tonight. Woo Hoo. And to see the Liberals lose all those seats made the night even more special. Not to mention the BQ. Oh Happy Day.
C-SPAN is showing the Liberal funeral party now; what a bunch of pickle-sucking losers! :)
