Overview of major historic events from tonight:
1. First ever Green Party member is voted in as an MP (oh yeah, this happened in BC - we are all part of history tonight!)
2. The Conservatives win a Majority government. (Do you remember how many seats are needed to be a majority government? This would be a nice question for the provincial this year). The NDP are the official opposition with 104 seats (this is the first time that the NDP has ever had this many MPs in Ottawa). Click the link: Conservatives a Majority, NDP Opposition
3. Liberals are not the official opposition and they are not the party in power.
4. The Bloc may not have party status after tonight due to the fact that they were only voted for in 3 ridings (at this point this could go down as ballots are still being counted).Click the link: No Party on the Bloc
5. CBC might be in trouble for releasing results one hour earlier than elections rules allow. Click the link: Bad CBC
5b. Tweeters also release results prior to the official release time. Not sure what Elections Canada is going to do...
