Any other civilized country would be looking at the kind of people we detain and thinking - hey, I want those people!
Oh, I caught an As it Happens the other week w/ Stefan Dion and his accent of awesome gettin' all aggressive about that. I haven't paid attention enough to be able to tell when would be a good time, but Harper hasn't done anything to *really* piss off the public, and Dion "coalition" in not supporting would be 1/2 Party We're Actively Organizing Against and 1/2 Party We're Sorta Alligned With But Who Knows How Long That Will Last. This is not a recipe for victory in my book. I swear - watching the left in up north is like watching the left here about 10 years ago, when we were all fractured and so caught up in our own ideas we couldn't even be in the same room. And look what we got. But it's worse up there, because there's power - a D is a D is a D, but nobody up there can stand to suck it up and lose power for the greater good.
(See Canada? Let the cranky young American fix your politics for you!)
