It's a minority, but we'll take it

Canadian Press and CBC have called it for the Conservatives.

I was a bit worried as results came in from Atlantic Canada, where an increased Conservative vote translated into only a couple of new seats (including Fabian Manning in Avalon, John Efford's old riding). But after days of worrying that my prediction of 5 Quebec seats was far too optimistic, I see that we're leading or elected in ten.

The Tories are leading or elected in 112 seats as of this posting, with 26 ridings yet to report. Congratulations, guys. We've been waiting 12 years for this.
