Harper wins Tory minority government, Martin stepping down as leader Last Updated Tue, 24 Jan 2006 01:14:32 EST Liberal Leader Paul Martin announced early Tuesday morning that he will step down as leader, after Canadians elected a Tory minority government and ended a 12-year reign of Liberal rule. Martin said he will continue representing his Quebec riding but added he "will not take our party into another election as leader." Martin's announcement came as Conservative Leader Stephen Harper, who will become Canada's next prime minister, led the Tories to victory. The Conservatives are currently elected in 124 ridings, the Liberals are elected in 101 (leading in two others), the Bloc is elected in 50 (leading in one other) and the NDP is elected in 27 (leading in two others). One Independent was elected, in Quebec. "There will be another chance and there will be another time," Martin told a roomful of supporters in Montreal. .......continued -------------------- |

Not a huge fan of Stephen Harper. The next few years will most likely explain why. I dressed all in black when I went to vote knowing very well what the result would be.

As an American (and socialist), I imagine my input into this subject is basically irrelevant, but if I were a Canadian citizen, I know how I would vote. America lacks one major niceity that Canada happens to feature: a system of proportional representation. Because Canada features such a system, I would actually be able to pragmatically vote for exactly the ideology I'm behind. Thus, I would have voted for the Bloc separatists. They have legitimate complaints and Quebec is deserving of sovereignty.
