Election

Well, the man known as The Dark Lord among some of my Facebook friends won a sweeping victory in last night's election and is back for a third term in office. Stephen Harper was third time lucky with a majority government.

Despite a mini groundswell of opposition from social media, sites like Shit Harper Did seemed only to preach to the already converted. While "Can this onion ring get more fans than Stephen Harper" got 158,781 fans, only 37,014 people were interested in debating the facts.

Whether it's true or not, the vast majority of Canadians appear to credit Harper for helping us sail through the global economic crisis mostly unscathed. And those that didn't, seemed more than willing to give Jack Layton and his platform of positivity a shot.

One thing's clear, there's going to be a Liberal leadership convention before too long. Michael Ignatieff's Liberals haven't had this few seats since Confederation.

The conservatives, whose campaign posters read, "Michael Ignatieff: He didn't come back for you", must be thinking, "He didn't come back for you. But he's leaving because of you."
