Interesting Global Stephen Harper will step down as Conservative leader following Monday’s federal election defeat. John Walsh, president of the Conservative Party of Canada, said in a statement late Monday evening that he had spoken with Harper and confirmed that he was stepping down as leader. “I have spoken to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and he has instructed me to reach out to the newly elected parliamentary caucus to appoint an Interim Leader and to the National Council to implement the leadership selection process pursuant to the Conservative Party of Canada constitution,” Walsh said Harper, who was seeking a fourth consecutive term as prime minister since 2006, comfortably won his Calgary Heritage riding on Monday night and will continue to serve as MP in the immediate future. But as Harper’s decade in power comes to a close, many are wondering who will be the new face of the Conservative party. READ MORE: Should they stay or should they go? Canadians weigh in on party leaders’ futures An Election Day survey conducted exclusively for Global News found that among Conservative support 17 per cent said they favour Jason Kenney as the next Conservative leader. However, 40 per cent of respondents said they preferred someone else other than the candidates listed. Premier of Saskatchewan Brad Wall received nine per cent support, while Tony Clement and former Liberal Quebec premier received eight per cent. Joe Oliver, who lost his seat his seat to Liberal candidate Marco Mendicino in Toronto’s Eglinton-Lawrence riding, received six per cent support.

@jkenney: Congratulations to @JustinTrudeau and the Liberal Party on their election tonight. Best wishes in governing this wonderful country!

Post quote isn't working very well tonight. But @blue&gold, thanks. Relevant point within a joke. No sour grapes from me Voted liberal many times. Do a good job and they can earn my vote next time too. And if anyone claims the liberals are illigitimate I will strongly disagree

Very much so. And a great sentiment by Trudeau. Let's try to remember that in here! We're all Canadian. And JT is our Prime Minister now. All of us.

@stephen_taylor: #ThankYouStephenHarper is now trending in Canada.

Fraser - the only person seemingly sour here is you, odd given the result. My remark about the popular vote was a joke because it was the position of a lot of non-cons. I don't subscribe to that opinion OBVIOUSLY. Lol Try to keep up. People like you are so focused on being rude to other posters here you miss context. It's a shame Anyway, my thoughts which I tweeted a few minutes ago are @PCWAndrew: Great campaign by @JustinTrudeau He's the PM now. Deserves congrats and respect and good wishes. Make Canada proud.

@CBCAlerts: 'Canadians chose change,' says prime minister-designate Justin #Trudeau, whose #Liberals have won a majority. #elxn42 @CTVNews: Trudeau opens address by quoting former PM Wilfrid Laurier, who spoke of "sunny ways" and knew politics could be positive force. #Elxn42 @CTVNews: "Canadians from all across this great country tonight: It's time for a change in this country ... a real change." https://t.co/KNVef4EBRm @CTVMercedes: Trudeau says Harper served the country for a decade and thanks him for his service #elxn42 #CTVElection @CBCAlerts: Prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau thanks Stephen Harper for his service, pays tribute to Tom Mulcair. #elxn42

@CBCAlerts: #NDP's George Smith, spokesman for Tom Mulcair, says Mulcair is not resigning as #NDP leader.

Lol okay.

No word on Mulcair's future yet? Any early predictions for Con leader? Can Mackay be convinced to return?

Classy speech by Harper. And Mulcair. Should remind us That they can show class, a lesson some supporters could learn.

@CTVNews: Stephen Harper: "For the past 9.5 years, it's been an unbelievable honour to serve as your Prime Minister." #Elxn42 #CTVElection @CTVNews: Harper: "We have no regrets whatsoever. Friends, how could we? We remain citizens of the best country on earth." #CTVElection @KatieSimpsonCTV: Harper says the disappointment is his responsibility and his alone. Says next election there will be a strong party based on Tory values @KatieSimpsonCTV: Harper says he's called Trudeau to congratulate him. @CTVNews: Harper: "While tonight’s result is certainly not the one we had hoped for, the people are never wrong." #CTVElection #Elxn42

Here is something we can all agree is a good thing @BWildeCTV: Duceppe loses his own seat for the Bloc. #Elxn42

Why start a narrative that isn't there? What deflection?Ofcourse it's a rejection. When the government gets beat like this it's a rejection. It doesn't meant there aren't other reasons. But certainly a rejection of the government. Liberals + 39 in Quebec. NDP -51. That tells the story.

@CBCAlerts: #NDP Leader #TomMulcair speaking now, reacting to #elxn42 results. Has congratulated #Liberal Leader #JustinTrudeau. https://t.co/pxaPBDAXKn @stephen_taylor: Mulcair thanks Harper for his service to the country. Classy. More so than many of his supporters.

Watching the Mulcair presser it's clear that NDP supporters might be delusional but they are blissfully delusional.

@BreakingNews: Stephen Harper resign as Conservative Party leader, continue as MP; caucus to select interim leader - @jenditchburn https://t.co/AbnfzPt1j3

More of a change for change sake then anything. And a collapse of the NDP. Cons were winning three weeks ago. It was the switch of NDP voters to liberal.

Pretty good trailer. And tickets are going fast in winnipeg

@stephen_taylor: Mulcair: Canada has rejected the politics of fear and division. NDP has message of hope and optimism. NDP rejected harder than CPC tonight

I generally agree. But I want it more difficult for kids to get. I've known far too many pot heads in my younger days.
