No, the Canadian election results don’t mean North America’s bastion of sane politics has suddenly turned into a bunch of Bushbots. Thanks to their four-party system and the shift of a couple dozen House of Commons seats, a Liberal minority government has been replaced by a Conservative minority government. Incoming prime minister Stephen Harper may talk the same rural-oriented, top-down, lawn-and-order talk as the Bushies; but to pass any legislation he’ll have to work out vote-by-vote coalitions with the Liberals, the independence-minded Bloc Quebecois, and the progressive-left New Democrats.
