Election Fever in DC

Well it's finally over. Too much excitement for me. I headed down to the Elephant & Castle last night to join every other Canadian in watching the election coverage. I also brought along some of my American friends for the cultural experience, and of course, the $2 Molson beers. It was pretty wild there. Lots and lots of people. The Conservatives had a pretty vocal cheering squad but I feel that there was pretty good representation accross the board. We had our own little NDP cheering section. And one woman even had a "Parti Vert" sign! It so happened that I met a fellow from Balgonie there so we shared a few Saskatchewan stories, Corner Gas and such. It was a really great time, and I can't say I'm all that unhappy with the outcome. It was really nice to see the NDP make some gains, and I think it was time for the Liberals to be humbled. It should be pretty interesting to watch the Canadian political scene for the next little while.
