#098 Electoral SatisfacShawn

Karma is one Sexy Mother!

That's all I've got to say.

The polls closed in Quebec at 8:00 pm.  By 8:20 pm they were calling a Liberal Government, and at 8:40 pm they declared a Majority Liberal Government. 

The Parti Quebecois imploded! Not only did they Not remain in power (they were long expected to win a Majority Government) many of their own, high profile candidates failed to be (re)-elected. Including none other than their Leader.

It was a very satisfying evening I have to say.  I usually only check the news around 10 pm or so, but we were captivated from about 8:15 pm.

Now we can only hope that the Liberals don't cock it up.

#097 Election Results AnticipaShawn

Well 33 days have come and gone since a Provencal Election was called in Quebec. It's been a long, nasty mud-slinging 33 days. Full of a lot of hot-air and little mention of what Quebec needs... a focus on the Economy, Healthcare, Education and our exponentially crumbling Infrastructure...

I'm fairly confident that the Liberal Party will form the next provincial government. It's just a question of Minority vs Majority. Either way it will be a marked improvement over what we've had for the past 18 months.

We voted tonight. It took only 25 minutes to go to the polling station and return home. Honestly, I think that's the very least a person can do for his fellow countrymen.

Here's to hoping the next four years are an improvement over that last...

(fingers crossed)

#064 ElecShawn

Well there's nothing quite like an Election in Quebec.

Unless the Honey Badger put's his name in the race I'll pretty much be voting Liberal. It's not like there's a lot of options... well generally there are a good 8-10 candidates in my riding, but like it or not, if you are a federalist in Quebec, that's where your vote goes. 

It's not perfect, and  neither is the Liberal Party of Quebec, but again they're the only Pro-Canada option and really in any given election in Quebec, regardless of what they try and make talking points, it's all about With or Without Canada.  And to a lesser degree, how much do you want to screw up the economy and alienate the Province from the rest of Canada and the World.

I won't even get started on the shiite Charter Affirming The Values Of Secularism And The Religious Neutrality Of The State, As Well As The Equality Of Men And Women, And The Framing Of Accommodation Requests (a.k.a. The Charter of Quebec Values, a.k.a. The Xenophobic Racist and Anti-ALL-Religions - except Catholic) 

Ah good times.  And the timing could NOT have come at a better time as I officially kick off my (minimum 40) Days of no Hope for Humanity.  Thanks Pauline, you've already proved my point on that. Asshat!
