Good for Canada for still believing in hope and social democracy and the power of youth. My country turned on all that the instant they realized they'd have to give their tax dollars to a black man for once.
I voted against Harper in the early 00s when he was trying to push a lot of neocon military/social agendas just like damn near everyone else did.
That being said, I have nothing against Jack Layton personally, and its very unfortunate that he died, but I'm very glad Canada was not financially hamstrung with 77bn in annual costs that we simply don't have to spare right now.
