reprisal

So we have a Conservative Minority Government in Canada. It's a mixed bag, really. The people angry at the Liberals for being in power for 13 years got their day in the Sun, and the people who have an intense dislike for the Conservative platform will see most of the reactionary bits mitigated by the minority status of the government. I wouldn't have minded if the NDP did better, but we can't always get what we want when there are 18 million other voters out there, eh?

Not the end of the world for liberal hearts and minds in Canada, though I figure it will be a wake-up call to the Liberal camp to start getting less centrist and more, y'know, liberal...
