Only 99 days

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

That's what one might term as emphatic.

Gotta say that I'm not sure if I'm more relieved than happy with the outcome...

Running a campaign full of "will do's" with few "have done's" after governing for so long is another way of saying its time for a change...

Coalition Governments around the world have proven they can be an effective way to govern, so the notion that a slim majority can't work was another reason for change ...

Now, does the NDP follow through with their campaign-time threats of taking this to the courts after the Conservatives won?

Be a bad move when they've just been slaughtered.

But.

They are good at that bad move thing.

The NDP would be best served to lick their wounds, shut the fuck up and reorganize.

Times are changing. BC gets a conservative government and Alberta seems to be heading for an NDP government. The NDP is up about 4 points on the UPC at the moment. Things could change after the UPC November Convention, if they decide to turn on Danielle Smith.
