  • Whoa, why does Steven Harper’s speech suddenly sound like an Oscar acceptance speech?
  • Why is Steven Harper still so scary?
  • I like the fact that Paul Martin played cards while the election results were coming in. It reminded me of a certain game played in a certain green room (which wasn’t really green and didn’t have much in the way of food, as I recall). That was awesome.
  • Some of those races are really close O_o
  • Not in the city, though, sadly. 🙁
  • Oh ho ho, and it was Richard’s sister who took my ballot. Then again, the only other time I remember seeing her is at 7 am in the morning five years ago, so…
  • I have nothing to say about Jack Layton. This makes me sad. I’m glad his wife got elected, though. That’s going to make for some good newspaper fodder in the months ahead.
  • I thought it was kind of obvious that a Liberal-NDP coalition was a possibility even before the TV guys swarmed all over it. I also thought it was equally obvious that it wasn’t really going to happen, especially given that the last time such a coalition was formed was in 1925. I mean…. really.
  • Oh, I do have something to say about Jack Layton after all. I was disappointed that his supporters booed Harper. Not really necessary, and it just makes you look like sore losers anyway. And this coming from someone who really, really doesn’t like Harper!
  • Do you ever wonder what those ‘congratulatory’ phone calls are like? “Hey, Steve? It’s Paul. Good job on the election, buddy. ‘Grats.”
  • I really wonder who the one “other” candidate elected is.
  • Did I mention that Steven Harper is scary?

One Response to “More musings after a night of following election results”

Anthony Says:

I believe the “other” candidate elected in Quebec is a “Howard Stern-like” radio talk-show host who has an agenda against politicians.

What kind of parent shakes his kids’ hands when he drops them off at school? Yesterday’s photo-op – like everything else about Stephen Harper – totally fake.
