After near 40 days of unbridled political ranting and raving, Canada has decided to do nearly nothing to the balance of power. The Conservatives have missed their goal of a majority. The NDP missed overtaking the Liberals. The Liberals, frankly, missed the boat by making Stephane Dion as their leader. Meh. The real frakker is this election, latest in a string of minorities, not only changes so little, but costs us taxpayers a frakking fortune.
What’s really frightening is that we’ve let a leader like Dion stick around as the leader for so long. Whether his ideas are better or not is superceded by his lack of attention to a basic political fact. You have to play to the crowd. And to that, there can only be one choice for the new leader.
I guess there is solace. This is the best the Conservatives can ever be. The best Robot Boy will ever be. I wonder what the odds are there will be two new leaders the next time we spin the Wheel of Fortune that is Canadian Politics.
