Hi Linda: I'm glad that at least it's not a majority...so now Harper HAS to make the gov't work, otherwise, the only place he'll get any votes will be only in Alberta, next time. ;-)

Looking at history, all of the country-wide benefits had been passed during minority governments. My biggest wish right now is to have Quebec-style day care in the whole country.

One of my daughters lives in Calgary. Where do you live?

LOL :-0 Doni about politeness! this past election was pretty dirty. We're not used to that at all! The Conservatives pulled out all the stops and did a lot of damage using attack adds against all three opposition parties, even before the election was called. But the whole country is glad that the strategy didn't work and they ended up with a minority again. So now he has to make it work, because it is his second minority. If he doesn't make it work, his own party will boot him out, if he forces another election too soon...

We didn't have the mud baths, like yours. The parties still stick to the facts more or less.

Our votes out here in the west don't count. We have about half the seats that the east has. The mudslinging was pretty bad out here. I saw the Liberal and Green Parties get pretty nasty. I honestly don't recall many adds from the Conservative party.....
