Harper Accepts Defeat

Monday, October 19, 2015 @ 9:03 PM

Prince George, B.C. – Prime Minister Stephen Harper has conceded defeat in the federal election, but fell  short of  saying  he will step down  as leader of the Conservative Party.In a speech to supporters and  volunteers  in Calgary,  Harper  said It has been “An  unbelievable honour to serve as your Prime Minister,  and it has been a great experience to meet Canadians from coast to coast to coast.  We put it all on the line,  we gave everything we had to give,  and  we have no regrets.”

Saying  while tonight’s results is certainly not the one he had hoped for,  “the people can  never be wrong.”

He has  spoken to Justin Trudeau  and offered congratulations  on Trudeau’s successful campaign. He also says he has offered Trudeau his full cooperation  in the  transition.

Harper maintained his seat in Parliament, and thanked the voters in his riding for  re-electing him to represent  the riding.

While  saying the people have elected a strong opposition,  he recognized the disappointment  Conservatives may feel because they did not form  the next government “The disappointment you feel is my responsibility and mine alone” said Harper.

Good riddance Mr. Harper. I hope the Conservative party rebuilds itself now in your absence.

It`s a sad day for Canada.

I think the world will be a safer place with the likes of Harper out of power, but I don’t think he is gone. He will step back and try to pull the strings from behind the scenes and be divisive as ever.

It’s certainly a sad day for western Canada! Back to the penalty box for us.

Bye harper, do let the door hit you on the way out.

Good to see Harper and the Cons punted from government, but sad to see that the two riding in PG can’t see how divisive and caustic the Cons have been.

Just not enough welfare recipients here to get the Liberals elected. Possibly next election though!

Open your wallets folks. At least 3 seriously deficit budgets ahead to support ‘economic growth’. Have any of you seen how a federal government job is run? You may as well flush those billions of dollars down the toilet.
But no worries – our grandchildren’s grandchildren will be making interest payment on that deficit financing scheme 50 years from now.
Enjoy the party and pass the buck down the line, just like during every other Liberal government. Nice hair though.

10 billion a year for 3 years. Thats 10 for Ontario, 10 for Quebec and 10 for Ontario. Get ready to start subsidizing the East!

Harper’s racist agenda did not prevail. I am proud of my country. The people could not be bought by giving more money to the rich. This is a great day for Canada. Conservatism has a place in Canada and I can support it but not the hate the Harper has promoted.

If the new PM runs the country like he ran his campaign Canada is lookin good.

The West is out.

I guess the election of Trudeau means the big banks have finally forgiven the Liberal Party for Paul Martin’s refusal to let them all merge with each other like they wanted to. So there’d be less competition still, and they could gouge us even more in service charges. It’ll cost us billions more in interest payments to them when Trudeau starts deficit financing all that infrastructure, but I suppose that’s the price of contrition when one offends those who must not be offended. Congratulations, Justin. You’ve duped enough dolts to put you in. Hope you never forget that Hell hath no fury like a dolt confounded.

The West is out? In BC 18 ridings are looking to go Liberal.

For over a decade, Western Canada has actually had a representative seat at the table of our government. For over a decade, Ottawa actually understood that the Canada border did not end at the Ontario/Manitoba border. Today, that ended! Canada will once again be Ontario/Quebec, that’s it, that’s all folks!

Oops, sorry, I am wrong on one thing, Ottawa/Quebec will have no problem whatsoever with putting their hand deep inside our pockets to help pay for the almost 150 Billion dollars in Liberal elections promises!

That’s $150,000,000,000.00 folks!!

Tonight I must admit that I am eating crow! I figured that I might as well get used to the taste because when the tax hikes come, and they will come, eating crow is all that we’ll be able to afford!

A sad day for Canada! An especially sad day for Western Canada!

trading bullets for doobies. Trading F35s for knitting needles. prepare for an onslaught of refugees….they don’t come for free. Your kids kids are going to be on the hook for whats instore. GOD help us all if the RUSSIANS come flying across the ice cap.

Must be bunch of old scool cons :( sorry…u have already mismanaged this right & privilege. Congratulations PM Trudeau. IT IS TIME for change. Out with the old & in with the new ideas of the younger generation who have the right to think outside the box and screw or fix everything we have ignored & decimated because of greed. Why not, their turn to try? Change is fear for antiquated & complacency. Irregardless, it is Liberal MAJORITY. .. LOL …move forward people, if you did not make the effort to vote, deal with it…don’t forget 4 years…do due diligence & come vote. Maybe change will happen again?

Sooner or later the Conservatives had to lose. Apparently its been over 100 years since any party won 4 elections in a row. So it was always a bit of an uphill battle to take this one.

I would sooner lose this one than go through 3/4 years of minority government, and then try and win 2019. This way we will be coming out of the corner refreshed and ready to go. In any event they still have over 100 seats and are the official opposition.

In any event we can live with the Liberals unless they screw up royally. One bonus in this election was putting the NDP back where they belong. So win one, lose one.

Thanks to Eastern Canada for electing a guy, who will flood Canada with middle eastern terrorists with no thoughts on assimilating as Canadians. Hope all 250k of them settle in Toronto, and bring Sharia law with them.
