Canadian Election Blues

Canadian Election Blues

I'm in no frame of mind to write much today so I'm just going to quote film critic Norman Wilner's reaction to last night's nightmarish (orange seats aside) federal election results:
What a sad, sad day in Canadian history. Many of the 60% of us who didn't vote Tory in this election already realize that and I believe a significant portion of the 40% who rewarded Stephen Harper's contempt for this country will also come to rue the day as they begin to understand the devastation that unchecked Tory rule can wreak in five years.

A big thanks to Quebec for giving us the only silver lining in this election, an NDP opposition government. How I wish Ontario had been with you and not let the nation down.

Now, more than ever, I'm still waiting for the great leap forwards.
