I want to post this to say Congratulations to each and every Tory who won their riding tonight. A special congratulations to Stephen Harper, my new Prime Minister; to Gordon O’Conner, my returning M.P.; to every blue riding in the Ottawa Valley. (Thank you Lowell, you can add to your count of 5 ridings in earshot being blue); and to every other Tory M.P.
In fact, I would like to congratulate every one of the 308 new M.P’s and each of their competitors for a hard fought election. Eight weeks for everyone on the bustings is a long time.
I am so exhausted as I did get called in by elections Canada. Look for my more coherent blitherings on the day tomorrow night. I have a full day in Hawkesbury tomorrow checking out a potential new job so won’t be back until tomorrow night.
Feel free to leave your comments on the election in this post.
Good night my friends. Job well done by all. As a Canadian who is pleased of the change in leadership, I would also like to add a final quick thanks to the bloggers out there for sparking such interest and accountability in the public eye. The 65% voter turnout is a testament to you guys (and gals) in my eyes.
