Well, if we are going to meld Canada, the USA and Mexico together into a North American political entity, a progressive government in Canada would certainly make that much easier to attain.
Makes one wonder if the Obama team did not also import their vote flipping schemes into Canada to skew the election.
Canadians oust Keystone champion

President Barack Obama will wake up Tuesday with a new Canadian leader who’s more interested in helping him reach a global climate change deal — but the long continental chill over the Keystone XL oil pipeline isn’t over yet.
Canada’s prospective new leader, Justin Trudeau, led his Liberal Party to a decisive win at the polls Monday, with the Canadian Broadcast Corp. projecting liberals would hold a majority of seats in the government. Trudeau unseated Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, whose nine-year reign has been marked by notable friction with the U.S. over Obama’s slowness to decide on Keystone.
Harper conceded just before midnight, saying the responsbility for the loss was “mine alone.” The Conservative Party separately announced that it will be seeking an interim leader, the CBC reported.
The Alberta-to-Texas pipeline, a linchpin of Harper’s energy strategy, has drawn fire from environmentalists in both countries who call it a symbolic threat to the climate effort. While Trudeau is also pro-Keystone, a fast rejection of the pipeline by Obama could give a new Liberals government time to pivot away from the controversial project to open a new chapter in continental relations.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Harper has narrowed the entire relationship with the United States to a single point around the Keystone XL pipeline, and he went to New York and criticized and harangued the President,” Trudeau said during a televised debate last month.
