On Saturday, March 26, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that Canada would be holding a national election on Monday, May 2. Harper attacked the Liberal Party, the largest opposition group, charging that the Liberals had a hidden agenda to form a coalition with the New Democratic Party, an organization backed by organized labor. The leader of the Liberals, Mr. Ignatieff, criticized the Conservatives for running a “secretive” government.
I certainly don’t have any insight on which party will win on May 2. I do wish to point out a number of items, however.
1. The campaign period lasts five weeks.
2. Organized labor in Canada has its own party.
3. Neither of the two main party leaders is comparable to Palin or Trump or Huckabee or Gingrich or Barbour or Rickie Santorum.
What a wonderful country. Plus they have better health care.
