I was ready to cry into my cheerios this morning, but at least he didn't get a majority government. There was a comment made on CBC late last night that I thought was right on target about the liberal party. Getting rid of Dion will not fix the liberal's problems- Dion, himself is symptom of the fractures within the party not a cause of their problems. Until the party has 'new blood', a leader with wider appeal especially in the Western regions, and a unified vision f where they want to go, we are going to be stuck in this situation for awhile. I wonder if the young Trudeau will be seen as a possible uniter, or will the name still be a problem out West.
Of course a minority government can be beneficial, but I foresee problems ahead when you have a bully at the helm. On the drive to work this morning a PEI MP (liberal) commented that he wasn't surprised that the federal leader (Harper) "attacked him" during the campaign; as he put it, Harper doesn't like people standing up to him. Interpersonal skills are definitely not his forte'.

  Hey there great to see you about again, hope all is well
  What you say about the west and Libs is true, but there is some history on how the east has put the west down.
  I still have a logo pin( those that are slightly larger than a twoonie) that has a pic of western Canada (Man. west) and the words,"Rep of Western Canada" compliments of the feelings in the 70's.
  And when I say east it is mostly Ont..
  Many out here want an elected Senate, like USA's, not the old boys club of a joke that we have now.
  It would give PEI the same clout as Ont in the senate.
  Ont and Que elect our Gov the other 8 Prov just go with the flow.
  And yes harpo is just a baby shrub.
  But as bad as the libs are in my eyes; my hat goes off to them for keeping us out of Iraq; would have got my vote for that if an election was held then.
  And Layton almost got my vote for wanting to pull our troops out of Afgan next year.
