Apocalypse nowabouts

Good loses seats in all cases. Evil gains seats in all cases. Evil fighting evil for Edmonton-Strathcona. Depressing night. Garth Turner loses. Possible coherence tomorrow.

Update: Further sign of the apocalypse: Paul Wells wrong. Dion has to go. If he'd broken, say, ninety seats, I would have said that he should stay on, for the reasons that Wells lists (especially the one about in effect having to prop the Conservatives up). But the defeat was just too thorough, and he is now so drenched in the stench of loserhood, that he will never win. Canadian voters, in their twisted little illogic, will continue to reject him because the fact that they have rejected him before proves that he should be rejected. In a just world, he'd fight another election on the Green Shift and win it. He won't. It isn't a just world.
