My biggest fear is that the libs put young Trudeau in too young. He's 10 years too early for the greatness his father had. Sadly there's been no strong Liberal since Chretien, and I only started liking him after he choked a protestor.
Leyton only got that many seats because Quebec is turning it's back on Duceppe to make a point to the Bloq. Plus he just battled cancer and that makes people all misty eyed. Even though I can't stand Harper I'm certainly glad there's at least a majority gov and there won't be anymore bulls**t non-confidence votes.
