VICTORY! DEMOCRACY WINS!

A Great Victory for Ignatieff, Goodale, Dosanjh & Cotler, all Liberals, all Opposition, all Parliamentarians, Parliament, Democracy, Truth, All Fundamental Canadian Institutions, and most of all, Canadians. Of course, Totters demonstrate their usual lack of grace, sliming Liberals, ignoring Bloc's brokering, and trying to claim all the credit for themselves. Remember how NDP derided CAPP for longest time and then, typically Laytonian, jumped on bandwagon, and then tried to hijack CAPP, to Shilo Davis' disgust, and attack all other parties fighting for democracy? Like scorpions, just being true to their self-drowning nature, now Blaikie and the good guys are long gone, except for Dewar, Comartin & Harris. But real credit has to be given to Ignatieff, Goodale et.al., for steering through these difficult waters, with their compasses set to defending parliamentary democracy as their north star, whatever obstacles had to be overcome, and even ready to fight an election over it, if needed. A rare example of strength and judgment.

Of course Eaves is completely right, it should never have had to come to this. 154 Days! It's ridiculous, and an indictment of a bizarrely bad government, in so many ways. But at least, in the crunch, the good guys won. Well done.
