Random thoughts in a post-electoral morning

Five channels showing election results and not one of them had the idea of using small colored maps to educate us on the location of all of these ridings with the strange names.
Now that the Conservatives are in (a little bit of) power, does it mean that we can now turn right on red lights?
Even though the federalist vote was extremely divided, the Bloc has managed to lose five (?) ridings. There is a lesson in there for somebody.
The most annoying misrepresentation that is coming out of the American media is that Canadian voters have moved to the right. There is a lot of things that can explain yesterday’s results but a new-found love for right-wing ideology certainly isn’t one of them.
