No Bush Please, We're Canadian

A little late, I realize, but I was busy at work this week.

Salon's answer to the change in government in Canada for the first time in 12 years is to shrug and say "No big deal." The letters are the best part. The foaming, slathering, eye-rolling crazed jumps between "It doesn't matter" and "It's the end of the world."

I find it interesting that the USA, Britain, Australia, and now Canada, have all gone conservative recently. Does it say something about the state of the world, the state of the Anglosphere, or, as the panting lefties who keep losing elections would have it, nothing at all? When we toss in the German election and the direction that France seems to be moving in, it's starting to look like a global phenomenon. Cool.
