Does anyone here think that despite all the polls and the media coverage, that the Liberal Party will win, vis a vis either a minority or majority government on Monday?
Honest opinions here....

I do. For some reason I think that many "decided" voters are going to jump to the status quo when they get to the booth; I would assert that this happens, to a degree, on each and every election.

Nope, not a chance. A Liberal minority at this point would be an unbelieably stunning turnaround. This is not 2004.
The only question is how big the Conservative government. How many people change their vote or decide in the booth? I wouldn't go till my mind was made up, which it has been for some time. By now I think everyone is pretty much set, unless new facts were revealed...

If the >Liberals pull this out somehow, then you can pretty much be assured that not only will Quebec separatism sentiment rise, but so will at least Alberta separation sentiment. Do not underestimate this, because it is there, just below the surface, and if the Liberals win, many including me, will have had enough. After trying to change the country using the electoral system and failing time after time, many of us will decide that being on our own is far preferable to belonging to a country that will reelect a party that has been proven guilty of corruption, lying, and stealing. I will not be leaving my country, my country will have left me, and the thousands of others who feel as I do.
As a result, I am somewhat calm about the whole thing. To me, this election is somewhat of a win-win situation. We either get an honest and responsible federal government, or we have the opportunity to legitimatly push for independence. Either way, we win.

Win win for Alberta and Quebec separatist that is.
Devolution of powers is step 1.

In the words of Gilles Duceppe:

"If he truly wants to settle the fiscal imbalance, and if he really gave Quebec its place in the national arena, he will find the Bloc Québécois at his side," the Bloc leader said.
"Everything that moves Quebec forward makes us much closer to sovereignty."

I see it a little differently that a slight move to the right, but that it's just wobbleing in the middle. :lol: Left, Right, left, left, right, right...and so on and so forth.
Personally I'm satisfied with the election resutls...I got what I wanted out of it:
-My party gained more seats
-The bloc lost seats
-and as far a Harper being the PM, I didn't really give a sh!t who won. It was going to be either or anyways, and as a minority gov't as I had said in October. My goal was achieved by seeing the NDP gain some seats which in the end does help things out in the house. The Bloc losing a few was just a bonus feature :lol:
