Just great...

The Bad News:
The Conservatives will be forming the next federal government in Canada.

The Good News:
It will be a minority government, and a weak minority at that. And with them in power, this time the left-leaning Bloc Quebecois will be unlikely to support them and their whack-job socially conservative agenda.

The Best Outcome:
Harper is unable to rein in the right-wing, Christian nutjobs who make up a large number of his M.P.s (the ones who oppose gay marriage and abortion, the rights of women and minorities), then the Liberals, NDP and Bloc take them down on the first piece of loony legislation they table. A girl can dream, can't she?

I won't be moving to New Zealand quite yet, but I'll definitely be watching how this all develops.

Yeah, not good. Although on the positive side, our Conservatives aren't nearly as right as yours. And I live in hope that when voters find out that, yeah, they really are that nutty they'll vote them out in spades when they inevitably fall.

In the meantime, I think we should look into starting a fan enclave in New Zealand. (Socially progressive and way warmer than Sweden.)
