While I think his Party's platform is misguided there is no doubt that he, and the Conservatives, have a strong mandate and that's the way democracy works. All I can say is I hope I am wrong and the platform works well.
The election itself was a great adventure and, while exhausting, was something worth every minute of the effort. We were not successful but we ran a good tight campaign and one I am very proud of.

Mr.Morton .You are a class act .Although I don't share your political views I admire the way you conducted yourself during this campaign.Good luck in your life sir.
Too bad, James. You certainly are a class act.
Best wishes to you.
You are a class act Mr Morton, Im not of your poltical leanings but, I followed your campaign and I was hoping for a con majority with you winning your seat. Congrats, that takes major guts.
Im so sorry to hear you did not win. I'm a big Conservative supporter, and an thrilled with the Conservative majority, but following your blog has given me great respect for you, and parliament would have benefited from your presence.
I'll echo saratoga, Mr. Morton.
I don't agree with your parties politics, but I admire you throwing your hat into the ring.
Thank you from this Canadian.
Morton... you're a class act.
Get some rest.
Looking at all those pictures of you during the campaign... it look as though you've lost a lot of weight.
Thank you for running a good race for our Canada.
All the best!
Thanks for putting up the good fight. It's people like you from all parties that put themselves out there and doing the hard work of campaigning that make democracy possible.
Take a couple of days to decompress and for yourself!
Thank you. Without people like you willing to run for office at great personal sacrifice, this country would be the lesser for it. Now you can take a well deserved rest.
Congratulations, I felt privileged to follow your campaign.
Thank you all for such kind words!!!
This blog has given us some useful insight as to the work that goes on during a campaign by candidates and their supporters. Well done.
It must be frustrating though that some candidates won even though they are clearly not qualified to represent their constituents. I don't mean it to be a partisan comment but when someone can win while campaigning in Vegas, have poor language skills etc. it clearly crosses the line.
James,
In my book you are a winner, a winner for taking up the campaign in Oshawa, a winner for getting the message out in the classiest of manners and a winner for conceding to the Conservative Candidate again in a very classy manner. The Liberal party was well served by you.
Thank you
I concur with all comments - James you worked so very hard - you deserved this - This is sadly your ridings loss..
You are a winner and truly a class act..
