Harper has succeeded in winning the soft Nationalist vote. This is important, we(I am one) are giving him our confidence to deliver on his promises to Québecers. I hope, he walks the talk.
The Fédéralist are still voting for the Liberal, no suprise there. Harper had no chance to get the Fédéralist vote, and they've been with the Liberal for shit long and will remain with them for a long time to come. Even if the Liberals where involved in the worse scandals ever, they would still vote for them.
The bloc, only positive I can see is they won Gatineau. Alot of people though, didnt vote for them that usually do. Myself included, mostly voted conversative. Decentralisation is the talk of us soft Nationalist, and if he delivers, expect Conservative support to grow alot more.

They've declared him the winner...I'm very disappointed. The comment I've been receiving all day was that more people would've voted for the Conservatives had they chosen a more experienced candidate....Very sad...
Although, I'm glad to see we have one in the Pontiac, which is right next door. Mr. Lawrence Cannon. Congratulations to him!

The Gatineau/Hull/Aylmer has always been red....We knew there would be a change this time. We also knew alot of Liberal supporters would switch to the Conservatives but not enough...Therefor splitting the federalist vote and allowing the dictator...oops...I mean the Bloc to squeaze in....

As far as I can see many of the Quebecois are still afraid of the Conservatives, and I see the Liberals losing a lot of support in Quebec, most likely to the bloc.
As much as I hate the Conservatives and everyone knows my views on Harper's Quebec promesses, I have to congratulate him he's done fairly well there.

7 elected Conservatives in Quebec is the latest result....So, I'm still happy in a way.

Alot of federal government workers live in Gatineau, so much for swearing an oath to your country.... LMFAO some of the people that are working for Canada vote for a party that wants to break it up.

The thing that surprised me most was that the BQ lost seats! I don't think anyone predicted that. The Cons did even better than I expected too. I figured they pick up a seat or three, but 10?

Yep very interesting ! I was predicting 6 or 7.
At last we see some nationalist Quebecers are not that stupid and hope the best for their province and nation!
Conservatives ousted 9 Bloq MP and André Arthur, the independant, did the same. André Arthur got a lot of the conservative vote, without him it would have been 11 seats.
Some seats the bloq took were only gained because of the federalist vote split. That's very reassuring for our future ! Let's see how things go now about national unity ! A big blow for the separatist movement.

I have yet to hear anything from Gilles Duceppe, is he still reeling from the blow of the results?

I must add, it has to be embarrassing for the Liberals to have a separatist MP looking at the Parliament Hill across the river respresenting Quebec's part of the capital district.
