Not sure if any of you have noticed but we're having one hell of an election up here in Canada. The ruling Liberals are getting clobbered and there is a real possibility of a Conservative minority government. For the record, I will be voting Conservative this year. Our current prime minister Paul Martin is more bought and paid by for and stage managed than George W., so I will be glad to see him exit stage left. Liberals spend public money without regard and I think its turning many non-ideological types into 'default conservatives'; they just don't trust the government to do anything sensible with their tax dollars, so they are voting Conservative and shutting the taps off. The Liberals had a huge lead in the polls only months ago so this has been a surprising turn of events.
