Would it be terribly un-American of me to be more excited by the Canadian elections held yesterday than the upcoming Presidential Fun House and Pie-Eating Contest that awaits us in November?
Well, if it is terribly un-American, then stuff it. I find Canadian politics to be much less depressing than the goings-on in Washington, D.C. Plus, I like the Liberals and the NDPs... so many Canadian parties are socially progressive... hell, manyt Conservatives in Canada look like moderates compared to neo-Cons here in the U.S.
How would you divide 308 seats?
Liberal Party: 135
Conservative Party: 99
New Democratic Party: 19
Bloc Quebecois: 54
Other: 1
Sure, it's a minority government. Z thinks PM Martin needs to hit the road. I'm more concerned about rumors of a third referendum on Quebec independence coming in 2009. Yikes.
Congrats to you Canadians out there. The future still looks bright!
