Talked to a friend of mine in Canada and have done a fair amount of reading on their elections ... good grief is this bad. The Left banded together for a wholesale rejection of Harper and Conservatives.

Yeah the NDP did poorly but that was just because Canadians didn’t want to split the vote.

Stunning.

Probably not so stunning.

Even though Harper led the Conservative Party, he really was not that conservative.

As a result, millions of disappointed conservative Canadian voters stayed home not seeing the point in continuing to support “conservative” politicians who are not truly conservative.

Too bad many Republican politicians fall into this same trap.

The NDP lost the vote over the Niqab. If not for that, the leftist vote would have been split.

Brian Mulroney -- who was the last Conservative PM in Canada back in the mid-80s and early 90s -- endorsed Trudeau in this election.

That tells you everything you need to know about Canadian politics. It won't be long before you have NHL teams moving from Canada to MEXICO.
