That's a great take.. The only cheesy (and not sleazy) ethnic thing I saw in the news was the fiasco over inviting folks to a Harper photo op in native garb... that was cheesy.. would have been fine if he was at some festival or such.. Only way Liberals should be natural party of immigrants is by playing the race card.. ie. all Conservatives are racist and anti minority.. which of course is not true.. lots of immigrants are entrepreneurs and fiscally conservative.. He'll need be moderate on some social issues likely.. but if can swing the party from its HARD right image to that of that old PCs.. just right of centre.. I could live with that .. but let's see..

Good article. Do Liberal failures validate Conservatives? Unexpected NDP success almost gave Canada another minority government. The next 4 years? Predictable. Polarization will increase, just as it has to the south. A half-century of social democracy against standing ovations for Sarah Palin, Bluewater economics against a vanishing middle class, and price against value. More laser-toting cops beating and killing innocent citizens, more prisons, more guns, more money for corporations, less taxes, bigger deficits, more debt. The triumph of bounded rationality. So be it. Canadian voters have spoken. In 4 years they'll speak again. Perhaps, differently. Jim
