With the dramatic double tap on bin Laden still dominating the news, you can be excused for missing Tuesday's results in the 41st Canadian Parliamentary Election held Monday. Conservatives won a flat out majority of 167 seats to 141 for all other parties combined.
This is still further indication that the rise of the Internet and unfettered availability of economic information may spell doom for collectivists everywhere. In years past, only readers of the financial newspapers like the Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times of London would be aware of the financial collapse of the statists' dream social democracies in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and, soon, Spain, and the very real non-financial consequences. Now every grandparent with an Internet connection can alert his friends and family to the disaster that socialists wreak on national economies.
Quite a stunner, eh?
