Canadian Election Wrapup
Well, things changed for the better as I slept last night. Most of the close races went to the Conservatives, and the totals today are:
Lib: 135
Con: 99
BQ: 54
NDP: 19
Ind: 1
Which puts the Liberals 1 below the 155-seat majority with NDP cooperation. The Con/BQ total is 153 seats, with the Independent, a former Conservative (he was deposed when his riding association was hijacked by an ethnic bloc) expected to vote with his former party.
So things could get interesting—not an adjective that usually describes Canadian politics.
