I would say “let the gnashing of teeth begin,” but it’s already under way.
More commentary later when I get a little time, but I’ll leave you with
a little something that might surprise a few people who know me:
I was hoping for a Conservative minority government.
Chew on that for a while, and I’ll explain later.

Let me guess: a minority government as holding pattern to keep things moderate until they get their collective acts slightly more together. A Tory minority would punish Liberal arrogance, and the Tories couldn't successfully pass any socially conservative legislation if they had a bare plurality of seats. A chastened Liberal party would come back and win a majority in 18 months and would Do Better.
I can almost agree with that. I wanted a minority government, too, and I definitely held my nose as I voted Liberal yesterday. But I can't vote for the Alliance, which is all the current Tories are. I regret chortling over "Tories, party of 2" several years back, because I could have voted quite happily for Joe and Flora and any other collection of sensible Red Tories yesterday. Easily.
If you'd like, you're more than welcome to borrow Ralph Nader for a while...
I also was hoping for a Conservative minority, but with the NDP holding the balance. That would have forced the Liberals to team up with the NDP in order to hold the balance, giving a lefty regeme perhaps resembling the Trudeau era.
