It would be good to get rid of the Tories.

What happened to the Bloc? Will the NDP take all their seats or what?

I don't know how many seats they have right now, but they used to have a bunch.

What happened?

i
Quebecers vote their interests and they jump between Liberal and Tory in federal elections since the referendum.

It would be wonderful to see Harper sent packing. I know a lot of Canadians and I don't know a single one who can stand the man--or his party.
