What's neat is how the distribution of seats worked out like a fiction, or a bad movie.
Here, we have the most right-wing Liberal PM in 50 years, presiding over a party that will need to earn the co-operation of the separatist, left-leaning Bloc, which is unlikely; or more the very left-wing NDP. Even if he can get the NDP on his side, he is still one vote short of being able to guarantee enough votes to carry anything.
And, like the fiction, there is a prince. Chuck Cadman hold one seat, as a "Non-Affiliated". He was screwed out of the Conservative nomination for his riding, after holding it for two terms for the Reform/Alliance (now Conservatives). The guy who stole his Conservative nomination came in a poor fourth.
Come to think of it, this would almost make a GOOD movie. Ya gotta love it. :)
