Mulclair at least won his riding. So that's something.

And I thought the oil patch was bad now... For Fuck sake.

Why is it bad now during this Conservative utopia? Or is the Liberal Boogeyman going to cause a further drop in a certain commodity's global price?

Great we are going to get double carbon tax.

Or they can thank the global oil value being half of what it was when alberta was thriving.

Care to show me where in this article it mentions 4 months of NDP government is responsible for the global downturn in oil prices?

Why has the price of oil been dropping so fast? Why now?
This a complicated question, but it boils down to the simple economics of supply and demand.

United States domestic production has nearly doubled over the last six years, pushing out oil imports that need to find another home. Saudi, Nigerian and Algerian oil that once was sold in the United States is suddenly competing for Asian markets, and the producers are forced to drop prices. Canadian and Iraqi oil production and exports are rising year after year. Even the Russians, with all their economic problems, manage to keep pumping.

There are signs, however, that production is beginning to fall in the United States and some other oil producing countries because of the drop in exploration investments.

On the demand side, the economies of Europe and developing countries are weakening and vehicles are becoming more energy-efficient. So demand for fuel is lagging a bit. China's recent devaluation of its currency suggests the economy of the world's biggest oil importer may be worse off than expected.

Stephen Harper resigns as Conservative leader | CTV News

EDIT: I voted NDP. I actually like Mulcair but then again he's like me. A stoic yet logical figure. Does nothing to sway public interest. I was expecting Lib majority but wanted NDP to gain more seats than the Cons.

Looks like Gilles Duceppe will lose his seat despite the Bloc Quebecois gaining an additional 6 seats (to 10).

My gf did as a substitute. She said he was slightly entitled and cocky. Could be the French coming out, or maybe he is a little.

One of my friends told me Trudeau was substitute for his class on 9/11.
