I vote for what I feel are in the long term interests of the country. I don't necessarily care for social programs that may benefit me. The economy is my main focus and I feel that a strong economy and strong economic planning benefits the country greatly long term (ie a 1% increase in GDP each year over 20 years means the country is far better off than otherwise).
Harper is an economist and an absolute genius in my opinion in terms of his ideas on economic planning. His ideas at the g20 or g8 for the world economy are probably also the best of any country's leaders, so it is important not just for Canada, but the world to have a strong intelligent voice on economic matters. That is why I voted Conservative.

Yeah, running as independent this time around.

Any revision to that prediction, Henry?

+ 4th place in the province PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS one time!

CBC confirms NDP is the official opposition.

Joe Volpe and Ken Dryden both trailing.
BQ only leading in 4 seats!

Duceppe on track to lose his seat to NDP in Laurier-Saint-Marie

He's only getting 32.9% to NDPer's 50%.

Lisa LaFlamme is so ****ing bad. Get off my tv.

so if the Cons aren't getting the majority and the Bloc is < 10, NDP+Libs > 155?

Conservative about to hit 150 leading/elected.

LOL BQ down to 3 seats

splitting hairs at this point.

Anglophone Vegas girl gonna be making $140k/year

I might up it a little. Very confident in a majority at this point.

Also, things looking even worse than expected for the liberals.

Yeah, the numbers CTV is showing don't seem to jive with the probabilities they are assigning.

wowow, NDP gonna break 100.

Iggy trailing by 100 votes 25/279 reporting

if like the Cons get to ~ 152 ish and the Liberals are decimated, won't it be pretty easy for them to convince a few ppl to cross the aisle?

Bloc isn't going to be allowed into the next english debate, correct?

and currently tied at 3% of the popular vote with the Greens.

Both Ignatieff and Duceppe currently losing by 220+ votes.

How do they decide someone has been "elected" after 20/300 polls reported? Clearly it's not when the opposition is "mathematically eliminated".

double suppukku tonight

Henry is right, unless BC goes completely orange Conservatives will end up with ~165
