Firstly, I'll never believe in opinion polls again. Repeat experiences with the recent Toronto mayoralty campaign and this federal campaign show that opinion polls are nonsense.
This election outcome is basically a nightmare, the same old nightmare with a twist. The polarities within Canada are played up very obviously. The NDP party has become the official voice of Quebec, the twist is that the "voice" has some ridings outside of Quebec, and Canada is governed by a middle-of-the-road, white, middle-aged, weasely-eyed male - with a majority - so all that NDP stuff is really just piffle. Quebec has once again isolated itself.
I am going to be watching to see if the court appointees are right-wingers, and I'll scream if abortion debates are reopened.
I don't fear for Toronto at all, however. And frankly that is all within Canada that I really care about. This government won't hurt Toronto.
