sabotabbyLet's go with It Could Happen Here's "The Canadian Election: NOTHING EVER HAPPENS," which is Canadian-born Gare's attempt to explain what just happened to ICHH's primarily American audience. It's nothing you don't know if you either live here or read my blog, but it's actually a useful reminder that the international media (including independent media) is framing our election very differently than we are. I don't really disagree with any of Gare's analysis, beyond that sometimes they screw up the names of political parties.
But you know. I've been going through a stressful time lately, and I'm often waking up sad and frustrated by my own wasted potential. And then I remember that Poilievre lost his own seat and it makes me happy for a good five minutes.

LOL. They won't do that.
