Feelings About Maritime Results At About 10 PM AST (Sorry, No Numbers!)

Of course I wouldn't ever dream of breaking the ban on reporting results of voting, as proscribed by law. Therefore no numbers will be reported here.
But I'm sure there's no law against someone's expression of a feeling.
Ok, I feel bittersweet. Expected better from the Maritimes, but this'll do. I'm disappointed in my fellow Maritimers. How can they allow themselves to be bought off by the Librano$? Don't they understand? We as a region will never rise above have-not status if we elect Liberals. The Liberals will simply throw money at Maritimers, taking away much of our incentive to be productive with our assets and resources. We used to be better off before the handouts came. The handouts are the cause of our weak economic engine. What we need is to once again have incentive to put effort into what we've got going for us to create value for others, thus bringing in income and profits. A check for doing nothing will not cut it, ever!
We need to experience some discomfort! Comfort does not make one stronger! It's our struggles that build our strengths, not some bloody welfare check to the region from Ottawa! What are we made of, anyway? Why vote for the comfort-bearers? You want to be mommied? For heaven's sake! Grow up, Maritimers! It's time to go out on your own and learn to make a living in the real world... and it takes hard work and sacrifice! Our ancestors used to do it that way! Why should we dishonor them? What would they think of us now? In their day, they took care of themselves and it worked. Why not now? Start thinking about it tonight!
The Liberals are not just crooks; they pose great danger for national unity if reelected. Greater than at any time in history.
I certainly hope the rest of Canada is smarter than those Maritimers who allowed their votes to be bought by the Liberals.
