The Conservative vote total increased slightly, but it was still below 40% - not exactly a massive endorsement. Once again, the vote splitting was critical to the outcome.

On my charts, since the election, the loonie is down, the TSX is down, the Venture is down. Despite the retoric, investors aren't exactly giving this the big thumbs up. [actually, I don't think the Canadian election has any effect at all - it's just the commodities were due for a pullback].
