It sounds like Canada has the best of both worlds, spelling-wise.
Gee, I'd love to see the new conservative party do well up there. It certainly sounds like their Liberals have been in power long enough to get corrupted. It's a shame when that happens, but it seems to happen quite often. Our Republicans better guard against it, assuming they remain in power here for a good while.
The Adscam scandal did them in. In Quebec, the Liberals will be lucky to keep 20 of the 75 seats in the Province and those will be anglophone ridings. If the Liberals slide further down in the polls nationally, Quebecois anglophones could switch to the Conservatives and even Atlantic Canada may toss out the Liberals to bring home the bacon. It depends on how Stephen Harper performs in his debate with Paul Martin. A win should cement things nicely for the Conservatives, considering they've been around only a couple of months and just elected a party leader.
