Now that we know the results...
The separatist party leader didn't get elected. The Green party went back to having one Member of Parliament. The NDP went back to third-party status.
For the very first time, someone born in Ottawa is going to 24 Sussex.
And one last observation before we put this election to bed: The percentage of voters who actually voted this time around was up by eight percentage points. (And three ridings in Ottawa had over 80% of voters actually vote - but I suspect that's because of a different issue.)

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
