How 'bout a nice warm cup of SHUT THE HELL UP
Babble on.
I'd like to remind some of my...more enthusiastic...Conservative compatriots that calling our fellow Canadians from the Maritimes nasty names for continuing to vote Liberal in greater numbers than we would have hoped is counterproductive.
More flies with honey than vinegar, if you can't say something nice, etc.
So sayeth me, your wise old mum, and every single Conservative who wants to win against a Liberal in the next election.
Think it through, then bite your frickin' tongue, 'kay?
Babble off.

Thank you for that. Speaking as a Maritimer who knows just how much that kind of invective sticks, maybe the best thing to do would be to look at the popular vote instead of the seat count. The Atlantic vote split between the Libs and Tories is almost exactly the same as the Ontario split. Hmmmm... In my riding (West Nova) the difference between the Liberal and Tory vote was just over 1%. My point is we're not the only ones and overall a lot of us still supported the Conservatives.
The Liberal support is inexplicable to a lot of people around here, too. Let's find common ground, people.
Damn good point. Realize that these people vote Liberal because their father's father's father voted liberal - so they will too. It's blind ignorance on their part, but to make a comment like that isn't necessarily that fair Peter - what of the Ontarians who still went Liberal? It's not about welfare, it's about foolishness - people just don't want to change their votes. And it makes me angry that they are so damned set in their ways. Wake up and smell the conservative coffee, people!
So what's Ontario's excuse? The alluring sight of a suction curette?
We will overcome.
Second worst scenario - we need Bloc or Liberal support to pass a bill.
NDP are irrelevant.
Not as good as we hoped, but way worse for NDP than they planned.
Laffing Jack again proves to have a big hat and no cattle. The NDP story is not considered realistic to votes.
The CPC Leader has proven himself to be a great strategist, a great campaigner, and, likeable.
Wait til Canadians get used to seeing a couple of cute blone kids a beautiful wife and a PM who's a boy next door. Who runs an honest, compassionate, conservative government. Landslide in 2008.
There is nothing in the least bit stupid about Ontario or Toronto voters...they spook kinda easy; but a couple of years of decent Tory government and they'll come around.
On the other hand, if the theocon rump of the CPC tries it on, I suspect the urbanites will revolt and take the burbs with them and Harper will join the ranks of the one term PMs. He can avoid this but he has to keep the socons locked in that box.
