Better go vote, eh?

News out of the frozen North has Canadian PM Paul Martin losing next weeks confidence vote. Anyone should have seen this a mile off, if Canadian politics were much worth paying attention to.
A funny thing over the last couple of years has been the MSM averring as gospel truth that America’s allies will “pay for it back home.” The results? Everyone knows that Tony Blair survived despite attacks against him from the left and right for supporting us in Iraq, even the great Silvio Berlusconi has survived. I personally think the best story is out of Australia. John Howard and the Liberals (Liberals are the good guys in Australia), along with the socially conservative Family First Party, ran on a platform that would do red-state America proud, and won. This despite everything predicted by the American media and punk American college kids who had studied there for a semester.
Meanwhile, Messrs Chirac and Schroeder are floundering as they try and force their citizens to subsume themselves to the European Constitution, a totally absurd document.

Exception that proves the rule: Spain and the American left’s salivation over our allies defeat in the face of terrorism.

I have been following this for a while. Allegations came out the other day that key mob figures threaten to “whack” certain Liberal politicians that wanted to step forward and end the corruption. Right now Paul Martin is waiting for cancer (two conservatives are dying of cancer so Paul delayed his confidence vote) to render him a majority in parliment.
