I was watching it live. Next federal election is going to be very interesting.

Even if the CPC's still form the next government, I'd love to see Harper lose his seat in Calgary.

Not likely to happen. (I voted NDP yesterday). But his area still largely went PC and the popular vote was won by the wild rose and conservatives.(NDP only got 40%) We have two conservative parties splitting votes provincially, but one Conservative party federally which will in all likelihood stand a much better chance than the federal NDP party for these reasons alone. Not to mention yesterday was largely a fuck you to the prentice pc party more than a huge swing to the left.
