In political news so far outside “the Beltway” even Rachel Maddow isn’t talking about it yet, Canada might make a sharp left turn in next week’s parliamentary elections.

The New Democratic Party, longtime scourge of Canadian corporate cronies, says it’s got enough momentum toÂ become the fulcrum of power in the next Government, potentially winning more seats than the currently ensconsed Conservatives.

We’ll know the results next Tuesday night (or Wednesday morning), a lot sooner than we’ll know, say, the results of the NHL playoffs’ second round.

Well, they did turn- but not far enough for my tastes.
Still, its pretty impressive that the NDP now has over 100 seats, and Bloc Quebecois went from 47 to 4!

If only we had a party like the NDP here.
