My greatest hope is that Justin Trudeau lifts the middle finger to your gov't now.
Wow, thanks neighbor.

No....a new American Ambassador, one that meshes better philosophically with Obama and, presumably, Hillary then Harper did

No offense my Canadian friends. But this government will be no different then the Bush to Obama fake out. All talk and promises, but the same behind the scenes pre-scripted corporate corruption of the Harper administration will continue, as the shadow government is in control, same one that runs the US. You have already been conscripted, you just don't know it yet.
Not paranoia, just fact. But go ahead and feel all patriotic and stuff while the vaseline is being applied..

The Conservative government was like a diaper that needed changing.
Its occupant-in-chief is now free to accept a sinecure from one of the energy corporations for which he has worked so effectively.
And we are beginning with a new diaper - which undoubtedly will become aromatic to some degree - but at least it starts out fairly clean.

Our new PM back in 2001 being interviewed by Crucial Mike and Johnny Thrash on a Whistler chairlift :):)
Looks like he's been on the "legalize it" program for some time now

ms55401 - 35 million Canadians care, and while I have very low expectations for Trudeau, he sure beats that dung beetle of a PM he replaced. As a nation, we mostly rejoice.
Now it's time for the citizens of the United States to un-ass themselves and for a change elect a President who has a sincere interest in repairing U.S. relations abroad while at the same time improving the quality of life for average citizens instead of continuing to shovel taxpayer dollars into the vaults of Wall Street oligarchs:./
I'm not holding my breath - Donald Trump and most of his clones from both parties should have been tarred, feathered and horse-whipped from the political arena the instant they announced their candidacy for the Presidency. Are you aware, ms55401, that the POTUS is also the ONLY person on Earth who can single-handedly destroy the entire human race from the comfort of U.S. One? Someone who isn't a drooling lunatic running your great nation would make the rest of us human beings sleep just a little bit better at night.

This was a long election by Canadian standards. It was also unusual for the level of interest shown by voters and for being influenced by events and issues which the political machines did not see coming or have time to prepare slick responses to. One of those issues was immigration and treatment of refugees.
I don't often hear the hard-bitten street folk having much conversation beyond, "Keep yer fukkin' bike off the sidewalk!" as I walk past the recycling centre where they bring empties on my way to the climbing gym. This Sunday, the day before the election, was unusual:
"Remember, they come from cultures far older than ours so they are much better than we are at stealing stuff."

Tami, Tami, Tami....equating Obama with the likes of Harper. There are political realities....the Repugnant Party in Estados Unidos fought Obama tooth and nail (the racial card was unstated but fully evident) and he still accomplished a lot. History will be kind to him.

I read somewhere that Harper was on TV dropping his young son off at school and he shook his hand...no hug from Dad.
Sounds kinda Nixonesque
Trudeau: young, handsome, personable, beautiful family.
Sounds like it was like that election of long ago in Estados Unidos.
Maybe Trudeau can take in some of those Middle East refugees. Europe needs help and doesn't have nearly as much territory.
