I think if the Liberals and the NDP had gotten their act together, there could have been a serious drubbing of the harpercons' fortunes in this election. (I say that with apologies to the Evil Scientist who discounts the impact of vote-splitting.)
That ain't going to happen, but at the end of the day I think we're looking at another harpercon minority.
When that happens, the NDP must join hands with the detestable Liberals and put the kibosh on any further assaults on democracy and any further expansions of the power of the executive branch.
And then it's up to Canadians of good will and honesty, to hold them to account and change the overall culture in this country, from one where it's considered self-evident that teenage boys should be tortured for their fathers' sins, and where if you go to the wrong place at the wrong time you DESERVE to have the police club you with your prosthetic limbs, and where stephen harper and Jim "fuck-head" Flaherty are sound economic managers, and where the proper response to First Nations people rising up to claim what is theirs, is, supposedly, to shoot them; and all that other rot and drivel, to one more centred on intelligence and compassion.

I hope that, indeed, your vision comes to pass.
I agree, but if the liberals ever gave up the center by working with the left or right, then their brand becomes irrelevant. Can't have that now, can we.
On a more serious note, here is one more disconnect with logic when talking to any of the NorthernTeaBaggers - closely related to the Wide Mouth Bass - just missing the "B"...
Suppose that independants won all but 2 ridings in Canada which are won by the Conservatives - One in the NWT and one in PEI... Are we to say that the Conservatives won the election, and that all the independents could not form a coalition and hence a government?
That is the logic that they hold...
Northern Tea Baggers...

Owen,
What is scaring me right now is that this is an incredibly important election, and I'm "paralyzed" by childcare issues, money issues, time issues (a blog post takes an hour tops, while going to some inconclusive meeting with people I don't know requires arranging for baby-sitting, $6 from my sporadic income, 3 hours minimum for travel, there and back and to get anything accomplished), work issues, family crises, my tri-nightly need to lobotomize myself with alcohol, etc., ... .
Bemused Lurker,
The harpercons and their lick-spittle blogging tories have no concept of "logic." It's a word that they imagine means a club to thrash wildly with.
