How do you like those apples Canada? Right wing fever breaks out north of the border.

How does it feel, my good friends 100 miles to the north? Hours after winning a minority government, Conservative Leader Stephen Harper promised to get to work implementing his top campaign priorities, many quite similar to Republican "reforms" and others even further to the right.

The Tories sweeping this election is that it might finally force the Liberals to clean house and come out as a revamped and appealing option in the future. Of course, we in the middle of North America said the same thing in 2000 and 2004. Same as it ever was same as it ever was same as it ever was. . .

I'm not happy about this, but I do remember the laughter, disgust, and derision that emanated from Canada as we elected, and then incredibly re-elected President Bush. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, how do you like your Man On Horseback?
