It didn't exactly stop me in my tracks, but the dearth of news in the world media about the Canadian general election came as a little bit of a surprise.

Anyway, for those of you who didn't stay up all night to watch the results, the tory gamble to grab a majority govt. while the Liberal party was happily commiting political suicide, and before the economic fecal matter hits the swiftly rotating object, failed. A resurgent Bloc Quebecois stopped them in their tracks in la belle province. Vive le Quebec! So our prime minister (whose name you are no doubt familiar with) is stuck with another minority govt. .... which might not be a bad idea.
