If W hadn't spouted that "uniter not a divider" crap before polarizing American public discourse 6 years ago I might rest easy with the words of our new Prime Minister's acceptance speech on my mind.
Call me crazy, but I think I get this guy. I don't like him. I don't hate him either. He's no ideological goon like W, so it's hard to feel strongly about him. But reading up on him I get a sense of where he's coming from, where he's strong and what his weaknesses are. He's got some unpalatable views, sure. Or at least it seems he did. Apparently he's got a reputation for having a temper and a proclivity for heated debate. I say some pretty crazy things too when I'm spoiling for a fight.
Time will tell, but I think we're in for something interesting. Anyway he can't do any harm.

my experience with Canadian politics extends no further than a cursory knowledge of the Weapon X program, but I feel like your sentiments could only have come from a native of a nation about which Mencken said: "The Canadians are the only people who take the idea of moderation to an extreme."
