I rarely read or comment on left wing blogs – for good reason.
But this one was hard to resist:
The voice of 62% of Canadians is no longer heard. We have a functioning arrangement where representatives of 36% of the people are running the nation – with no public scrutiny.
This is a sad day for Canada.
The assumption is that a Canadian that voted Liberal was choosing between them or a far left alternative like the Green Party, Bloc, or the NDP.
It’s a fatally flawed argument, but it doesn’t stop them.. check out the comments and the attacks on me for trying to reason.

Wasn’t 36% the same number that Chretien got for one of his majority governments?
My, how the worm has turned.
