Ever since Sunday evening the US networks have been broadcasting all the news every American has wanted to hear for the past 10 years: Ding Dong Bin Laden is laid to the bottom of the sea. Yeeha! But, north of 49 there was a federal election being held yesterday. You did NOT need a crystal ball to know the results. The more things change the more they remain the same and so it is in Canada today. Harper is still the prime minister. Of course he is. This is his third election, no surprise then that he won. The kicker this time around is that the red party is done like dinner, like a lame duck whose goose got cooked at the Broil setting. Then there is the orange party whose fearless leader was found at the Velvet Touch Massage Parlour (I am not making this up dear Yanks) in Chinatown back in 2006. Even that didn't stop his party from coming in a cool second. And so it is today in Canada. Did I expect anything to turn out differently? Hell, no. The result was so negative for the red party their fearless leader is set to resign today if he already hasn't. And the best news yet is that this is definitely an omen of what is to come to pass in October, 2011 when fearless premier of Ontario has also called an election. Provincial fearless leader of the aforementioned red party. OK smart arse, get your resignation ready to tender because you sure as hell aren't going to be re-elected. Can you feel the hatred in the province? It is palpable. You and your HST shall bite the dust. You and Iggy gotta get out of Dodge. One down, one to go. There is a God and I am thanking Him right now.
