In ONterrible on Alberta. :lol:
I'm dying to see how Alberta votes, after becoming the land of dippers.
Log off and come back in a couple of hours if you don't like the direction that the Earth rotates.
It's a little frightening. Trudeau seems to have exterminated all competition in Atlantic Canada. That may not be very healthy in the longer run. If the mandate is extended similarly across the country that could tend toward power maddened governance where the elected one could feel he or she can present any policy or legislation of any kind concievably and have expectations of compliance, and he has five years of free wheeling. Popularity like that can be used to great effect especially when introducing suspect policy.
I would be surprised to see many NDP or Lib seats here after the provincial debacle. The whole province is rife with buyers remorse over the NDP govt.
So it would be just like the last govt but in reverse....we would just wind up where we were in 2010.
We're too busy counting our money to start that early.Your slow out there. You might have noticed that we always come first.
Kinda like Harpo and his majority running roughshod over Canada. Here is what this election was really about. I still hope for a minority government but Harpo created such distress that the pendulum seems to be swinging too far.

If the Conservative Party collapses, I could see a few parties trying to fill the vacuum. Among the possibilities:
1. More conservative-leaning independents fill the void next election.
2. The Progressive Canadian Party attracts all the old Progressive Conservative Party supporters.
3. Some conservatives join the Green Party, resulting in the blue Greens outnumbering the red Greens and so pull the party somewhat more towards conservatism.
4. I could see some more libertarian-leaning conservatives joining the Libertarian Party, with blue libertarians outnumbering red libertarians and so pull the Libertarian Party towards conservatism somewhat.
5. Some liberal-conservatives could join the Liberal Party's blue Liberals and so pull that party towards conservative liberalism.
6. Some might join the Christian Heritage Party.
7. Regional paleoconservative parties are formed, such as an Ontario Party or Alberta Party, etc. which would them form alliances with one another after an election.
8. The Conservative Party moves more towards classical liberal-conservatism.
9. Any combination of the above.
I'm predicting a lot of Old Stock Canadian refugees applying for asylum in Texas.

While I agree with you C-51 was probably the final nail in Harper's coffin it would appear nobody remembers the Libs supported him on it.
