Hopefully its the end of almost a decade of embarrassment to be "Canadian".
Lots of work is needed to repair the damage done by the previous dictator.

Good luck to you Canada. You've been served very badly the past 10 years.

Kudos to Canada, yet again.
So------can you annex the Northwest (including Idontno) now?
I am so-----wanting affordable healthcare! (and somewhat more sane politics).

My greatest hope is that Justin Trudeau lifts the middle finger to your gov't now.
pretty sure you won't hope that once we elect #feelthebern? Pretty please?

We finally ditched that contemptible toad of a PM of ours. Canada is now a better nation to live in.
True statesmen congratulate the victors when they are defeated - Harper just silently oozed back into the bog he crawled from, and I hope the door hit him on the ass when he departed, so to speak.

Hey Tami - I haven't the slightest illusion about Justin - let's remember that he booted ALL of the Liberals out of the Senate, yet these horrible Senators had the integrity to oppose Trudeau's support for Bill C-51.
Justin's father was arguably the best PM we ever had, but Justin lacks even a single crumb of his wisdom or integrity. Let's remember that Canada has one of the lowest corporate tax rates on the planet, and Justin seemed to figure that this wasn't worthy of mention during the campaign. That's merely for starters.
I celebrate his victory for the single reason that Stevie Harper has been rejected by a clear majority of Canadians, and relegated to the dustbin of history as a four time loser on the political stage who dishonoured our nation by staining the Canadian flag with a neo-con agenda that at no time was EVER supported by the votes of Canadians.
I'm not happy that Trudeau got elected - he's just another "Liberal" PM. I, however, am doing hand-springs at the news of our newly elected PM simply because our mean-spirited shithead and erstwhile Prime Minister actually got clear feedback about what Canadians actually felt about him, so much so that they were desperate enough to still elect an idiot like Trudeau.
Canada is a better place for only one reason from this election: Harper now oozes back into the evil, festering shadows that created him, so at least we have an atom of hope, namely that Justin isn't merely a glossier version of the same shitheads who are ruining planet Earth for average human beings. I'd be delighted to discover that I am mistaken, and will not hesitate to acknowledge any unfair assessment of our new Prime Minister, but I feel that Justin is merely another more presentable robot apologist for the big money corporate rape of our planet.
Tami, keep up the struggle. I consider you a leader on the path to a better tomorrow.
