	<description>Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.</description>

		<description>I wrote the comment late at night and matters changed by the next morning with a few seats changing parties, resulting in the differences you noted.

		<description>I found this interesting enough to link to, but I have two quibbles.  The Globe and Mail gives the popular vote at 12.4 percent for the Bloc, not 7 percent.  And they won more than 11 percent of the seats, or ridings, if you prefer.

And, their most recent results give the NDP just 19 seats, not 20, which makes things even more interesting, since the NDP-Liberal total is now 154.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d agree with Fred. When I wrote &quot;socialist lite&quot; I used the European socialist parties as the metric, not the Leftist side of the Democratic Party. 

That said, the Bloc is even further left of the NDP. I wonder how muchit has to do with the French political character and ties to France.

My long term prediction (20-50 years) is that Canada will fail. The West is growing in population and economic vitality but to give them fair levels of power will weaken the Central Canadian elites. Quebec is losing population and most of the new immigrants have little desire to learn French, rather they prefer to take lessons in English. This dynamic will only increase the need to spend buckets of money promoting and enforcing the use of French and other money pits to shove French culture down the throats of the citizenry. Not a productive use of money.

Some crisis will occur. Total Population of BC and Alberta 7.2 million. That&#039;s only 7 years of illegals crossing our border and look at the land we&#039;d get. All the oil under Alberta, so no protests drilling in ANWR, oil off-shore from BC. Anybody ever fly over BC. I have. Forests unbroken by roads for hundreds of miles - how can Georgia compete against such an advantage. No wonder we&#039;re blocking imports of wood but we&#039;re protecting our inefficient timber producers and driving up prices at Home Depot.</description>

		<description>The only thing I&#039;d disagree with is that the NDP is &quot;socialist-lite&quot; they&#039;re

The Liberal Party is centrist-socialist-lite, the NDP is a little more socialist and drags in the far lefties, the &quot;conservatives&quot; are centrists-right who, by default, drag in everything to the right who have nowhere else to go.

The Bloc Quebecois is fairly lefty too, but Quebec Nationalist, lots of former college marxist-leninist-trotskyite-maoist scum in the that lot. They realized that salami slicing their way forward by hijacking nationalism is the way to go.

One can only hope that the scandals re-invigorate themselves and besmirch the Liberals to such an extent that even Canadians can&#039;t bring themselves to vote for such crooks.</description>
