Broken Social Scene, K'Naan, Nelly Furtado and More React to .
"When you are constrained to select between foolish men, sometimes you must consider in the king of the MAGICAL MOUSTACHE," Broken Social Scene singer Kevin Drew said via Twitter, a character to New Democrat Party leader Jack Layton.
Hip-hop artist K'naan had his own unique take on the proceedings. "Politics are like awkward fashion trends," he wrote via Twitter. "If u jump in the bandwagon just as something happens, u may end up laughin at how u looked someday."
Stars' lead vocalist Torquil Campbell didn't look very impressed by the results judging from his Twitter account May 3. "Everyone done feeling smug about being Canadian?" Campbell wrote. "It's time to get those flags off your backpacks and begin being embarrassed. We f-ed up."
Hollerado was too ready to shriek in via Twitter: "This is really really depressing. Let's all go to see this Gov't like hawks and speak up if they try to cut Arts funding. Again."
Former Barenaked Ladies singer and now solo artist Steven Page shared his thoughts regarding the results. "A CPC majority sure dampens my celebration of the NDP's awesome showing," he said via Twitter May 2. "The Canadian electoral system needs repair."
Barenaked Ladies' drummer Tyler Stewart noticed the musical possibilities with some candidates elected, including Cash Brothers' singer Andrew Cash. "Cash, Nash and the Stache all do it to Parliament Hill," he wrote via Twitter. "Congrats to Andrew, Peggy and Jack. Let the jamming begin."
"Well, looks like a Dark day in Canada," Bedouin Soundclash wrote on Twitter referring to the Conservative party win.
"In sports or in politics, it always makes me sad to see someone get defeated," Simple Plan drummer Chuck Comeau wrote on Twitter. "Heartbreaking."
"Ladies and Gentlemen, you are truly lovely," Bif Naked wrote. "I am proud of you for embracing democracy, and embracing Canada. We will hold it what we want."
Nelly Furtado noted via Twitter that there was a two percent growth in the issue of voters in 2011 versus 2008 and also congratulated Green Party member Elizabeth May who won in her riding. Last week Furtado also posted two YouTube clips encouraging young people to vote.

Others had a bit more wit in their thoughts, with Owen Pallett saying via Twitter, "Yes, I voted today for Hubristic Party On The remaining #1."
Meanwhile, Our Lady Peace singer Raine Maida said via Twitter that Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff didn't appear to be the proper fit for his party. "Noble as it is for Ignatieff to want to continue to track the Liberals, Canada needs someone ASPIRATIONAL, enough settling for the status quo!"
Sum 41 bassist Cone McCaslin said on his Twitter account, "Election polls are in.I see that it's supposed to rain tomorrow. I'm not surprised."
Finally, Stars singer Amy Millan perhaps summed up the thoughts of many people with a simple response on her Twitter account. "Yikes."

THE Other SIDE LYRICS - NELLY
Pushin a five hundred S-L
I heard you still got a baby now (look at that)
A baby momma and a bow-wow
My nigga know you want to quiet down
F-for County run up in your house
But you don't wanna hear that though it's too late
Now the Feds knocking at your door you took the bait
They got taps on your mobile phone
They do surveillance all about your home
Now ya pawnin' everything ya own
Calling on your partners for a loan
No more cutting and sliding on the chrome
Your good days have number and gone
I tried to say you

Chorus
Now baby girl what's your name?
And order me what's your call to fame
Oh I can assure you do your thing
Just by checking out your diamond ring
I see you at the promenade every day
Buying Chanel Fendi Donna K
Plus I heard they took your job away
And got ya kids' shit on lay away
You got a 4-5 Infinity (You livin' large)
Like your last call was Kennedy or El' DeBarge
Oh I simply can't consider that you made that money righteously
The kids asking what they mommy do
And why she lock us in the bedroom
I think mommy getting paid to screw
Cause every night it's a different dude
I tried to tell
Chorus
Little man how old are you (you can assure me)
And what you doing skipping school
I see you run with your lil' crew
Out there fighting over red and blue
So now you wanna claim gangs
Even heard you bought a dopamine that ain't it
You started out with chronic on the brain
Now you're smoking amphetamines
I ain't trying to persuade your dreams
Just trying to render you that's it's other ways of makin cream
(Take it from me)
Just go to educate and do something of
Your new life and check it blow up
You ain't gotta stop being cool
Don't even gotta stop flossin' fancy jewels (and fast cars)
Just hold it real with your game son
And don't forget were you came from
I'm trying to tell ya
Chorus x4 (to a fade)

Anything I care I got it

Smile like the sunrise
Anywhere I go Im spotted
Anything I care I got it

Smile like the sunrise
Baby look me in the eyes
And tell me that

Cause sweetie you're my kinda guy
Thinking about you and I

And I don't think a lot of men I'm independent I'm ain't like some other woman

You can say I'm plain Jane, but it's not the same
I ain't in to big names, but I like nice things
I watch boxing matches and football games
I wouldn't mind bein' an actress, but I live to sing
I like going out, taking walks and stuff
I don't run with many girls cause they talk too much
