Tough Economy, voting out the incumbents, not all the time:

In Canada, the Conservatives held an election during these tough
economic times, but were re-elected. So, we got it different, our
incumbents are still in there.

In Nova Scotia, unfortunately, our incumbents
are getting kicked out as I write this(provincially).
In fact, the election results were heavily favoring the New Democrats earlier tonight in first.

Progessive Conservatives (our incumbents) second, and Liberals third.
With the "Green" Party barely getting any representation.
This will be the first time in Atlantic Canada that an NDP government
has been elected, which means I'm screwed. Small business and rural
areas aren't in the NDPs plan, so we might get left behind.
The PCs based their campaign on attack ads which is what ruined
them. People don't like attack ads, and it drives them away.
