Canada still needs American progressives

Canada exit polls point to change

Voting has ended in Canada's general election with exit polls suggesting the opposition Conservatives will be the biggest party.

If the polls are correct, Stephen Harper will lead the first Conservative government in more than 12 years.

However, the polls suggest he is unlikely to gain an outright majority and will require alliances.

only that last bit is any consolation, but this whole election reminds us how important American progressives are to Canada. Its almost impossible to make a difference in the USA, but Canada, already a more progressive country, needs our continued support
