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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Feel free to leave your comments on the election in this post.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
