New Government for Canada

Today we get to celebrate the fact that we no longer have a Liberal government in Canada. The Conservative party has won the federal election, and will make up the next government. Unfortunately, it’s a Conservative minority government, which means the Liberals will be able to impede the work that the Conservatives try to do.

The biggest upside is that we’ve gotten rid of a morally bankrupt party as our government. The Liberals in power were corrupt and excelled only at making things financially sweet for themselves and their cronies. The wonder of the election to me is that many seats in the house of commons were retained by Liberal party members, especially in the big centres of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. Re-electing Liberal candidates after that corrupt, thieving bunch of criminals screwed us all over for the last 12 years was like saying “Thank you sir, may I have another” after being slapped in the face.

At least a lot of Westerners are feeling like their votes counted for something for the first time in a long time. I know I feel that way.
