That's right, our friends to the North vote today, and a Conservative gov't could win.

Vote Liberal Party '04. Isn't Martin the Liberal candidate? Or is this for the Parliment?

I have many Canadian friends (as many Canadians live up here in New England) and most of them are upset at how the liberals have run things lately.

We can only hope that the conservatives win.

LIKE ME, live results can be followed at http://www.cbc.ca/canadavotes/electionnight/index.html

So far, its just the Atlantic region, but early on, the Libs have a lead. However, a 20% showing by the NDP could hurt them. We'll see

I heard on the news now that the conservatives won parliament when before they expected the liberals to win by a lot.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!

The Liberal party lost some seats to be sure, but still beat the Conservatives, 135-99 seats. For awhile, the Liberals will run a "minority government" with help from the far-left NDP. No party earned a majority in Parliament this time.
