Prime Minister Stephen Harper spoke to the media in Calgary just one day after his party cruised to victory to form a majority government.
It was an historic election on many fronts.
For the first time, the NDP is the official opposition and the Liberal party has fallen to third place.
After three tries, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May has finally won a seat in parliament.
The Conservatives captured 167 out of a possible 308 seats. The NDP has 102 seats.
The Liberals have 34 seats, the Bloc has 4, and the Green Party has 1.
Stephen Harper was in Calgary for the victory and held a press conference at the Hyatt on Tuesday morning.
Harper spoke about the importance of a majority government and what it means for western Canada.
"I think western Canada can breathe a lot easier," said Harper.
He went on to say that the other parties floated ideas that did not reflect the needs and concerns of this part of the country.
"I actually agreed during the campaign that the economic policies of our opponents were actually quite dangerous for the country as a whole. Obviously some specific policies seem to be almost targeted to do damage in western Canada," said Harper, "I think it's a great thing that those policies won't be coming to fruition in the west.
The Prime Minister said that it feels great to have a majority government but acknowledges that they have a lot of hard work ahead.
After the election, both Ignatieff and Duceppe announced their resignation as leader of their parties.
