The west should be a lock now for the conservatives. I had hoped either Kennedy or Ignatieff could have made elections competitive in this part of the country so our views would have more importance at the federal level.
On the plus side I am sure glad Bob Rea did not get elected their leader. Sure he would have been easy to beat in an election being a political red turn coat and Power Corp multinational lacky, but I would just not rather see people like that in leadership positions in our country. At least Dion is geniune, and so I find that acceptable.
I would like to see Dion be the first of the current federal leaders to visit Prince George, Northern BC's biggest city. Also I like that his name is easy to spell.
