The right wing has been decimated... okay, 99 seats is a decimation, I wonder what happened to the centre last time when they were down to 32 seats?

Proof other than being voted out by a wide margin?

What percentage of voting is done by emotions and what percent is done from facts? (Not that it matters one iota) :)

Ideologues have such a narrow field of vision!

Yep an entire election can be thrown into chaos in the last week just by one statement made by one candidate. If the face rag incident was taken out of the equation, I wonder what the results would have been. Maybe a 20 seat difference for the Dippers in Kweebec!?

Still right of Americans. We out liberal you every day.
Not a chance. Heck, the old PC's were almost as left-wing as the US Democrats.

The title of this thread is hilarious and demonstrates the lack of objectivity of the OP. If being relegated to being the Official Opposition is decimation, what the hell happened to the NDP then? The CPC is in much better shape than the PCs were when they were turfed from Office.

If the CPC couldn't form government even after keeping their own election promises, then they will never form government again unless they change.

This election proved that Canadians care about more than the economy.

Liberals won because corporations thought it was time, after nearly a decade, to change things up. So they threw money in their campaign. Conrade Black endorsed the Liberals, FOR **** SAKES.....

Even the left wing capitalists? George Soros is a right-wing reactionary? Warren Buffet is a right-wing reactionary? What about former PM Paul Martin?
Is this a serious question? These people are neoliberal garbage.

By the time this is all said and done, the CPC will need Paul Martin's doppelganger to lead them if they want to form government again.

Anything east of John Tory and you guys are fukked.

just people who prop up capitalism.

i don't value wealth very highly to be honest. if i was a billionaire i would never live like one. i'd probably give most of my wealth away to homeless shelters or something.

Eh.. I say you can still enjoy your riches.

It's this idea that just by being a wealthy person there is some kind of significant achievement which is misplaced and luckily we are one of the few countries that recognize that.

i don't know what the hell a person needs a billion, or even a million dollars for to be honest.

there was an experiment done where it was shown after a salary of 70k, a person's happiness started to stagnate.

Sure. But my happiness stagnates in Fiji or Jamaica.
