Definitely to this news. It's sad that Tories won again, it's heart breaking that they won a majority.
It's completely and utterly awesome that:
Gilles Duceppe lost his seat and quitting BQ
NDP domination in Quebec and other areas of the country, massive seat gains, official opposition party
Liberals got utterly destroyed, completely.
Greens for their first MP with May winning in her BC riding, beating a Conservative. Complete 180 shift there, awesome work.
The orange wave sweeping many ridings, but not quite enough to close the gap.
It's a total bummer that:
Harper won
Conservatives have a majority
While Quebec progressed, Ontario stood still or went backwards. Many people voted Liberal for the whole "anyone but Harper" deal. Thinking Liberal
was the only way they could stop a Conservative from taking the riding. If only they all voted NDP, they could have followed Quebec's lead.
Riding results weren't announced through the night as winner's were declared. Total blackout until all polls closed irks me. What happened to
telling people real time progress reports through the night? Shady business, not happy with that.
Harper will continue to cut social spending, social welfare and benefits programs will be lost, his slashing of arts funding will only pick up speed
now. His push to more US-style reforms in copyright, crime and a defence will only make the country weaker. It' worked so well in the US after
all... Tax payer money will continue to be funnelled into expensive photo ops, furthering the police state in a country where crime rates are already
very low, creating new prisons for the dropping prison population. Corporate welfare will continue to rise while social welfare is slashed.
People complained the NDP would raise taxes and people would be screwed. Well, you can have an NDP government who doesn't raise taxes, but invests in
social welfare over corporate welfare. Bob Rae in Ontario was a double-edged sword. He came to power announcing sweeping changes everyone wanted.
But the recession was hitting hard, and he proved that the NDP could be fiscally responsible by implementing many conservative policies. Closing
government offices, forcing staff on unpaid days off, cutting social programs, scaling back his promises all to save money. So it really, really bugs
me when people think NDP = great big recession, financial disaster etc when Rae proved they can make the policies and hard choices to stave off
disaster.
Here's to hoping for a greater NDP surge in 2015.  Maybe we'll see the
red fade away even more by a Green surge. Hopefully by 2015 the Greens will be invited to participate in national debates, considering they are a far
larger national party with national policies than the BQ who continually participate and represent a far lesser population.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
