The results of the Cana­di­an fed­er­al elec­tion are so depress­ing that I can’t bring myself to com­ment at length. Cana­di­ans have reward­ed one of their worst and most moral­ly offen­sive gov­ern­ments with a par­lia­men­tary major­i­ty. We have already, thanks to Stephen Harper’s Con­ser­v­a­tive admin­is­tra­tion, plunged from finan­cial sol­ven­cy to crip­pling debt. Harp­er has shown his con­tempt for Cana­di­an tra­di­tion and democ­ra­cy a hun­dred times over, and com­mit­ted gen­uine acts of trea­son. We will now live in the thrall of doc­tri­naire Con­ser­v­a­tive filth and cor­rup­tion, ruled (rather than served) by one of the slim­i­est bas­tards in the country’s history.

As the aging Boomer gen­er­a­tion sinks into senil­i­ty, this sort of dis­as­ter was bound to hap­pen, I suppose.

After many years of study­ing his­to­ry and soci­ety, I have pret­ty much zero tol­er­ance for Marx­ists, Con­ser­v­a­tives, pseu­do-Mus­lim and pseu­do-Chris­t­ian “fun­da­men­tal­ists”, and the pro­mot­ers of Glob­al Cor­po­ratism — all these clowns are pret­ty much the same sort of con-artists, ped­dling the same sort of garbage. They are inter­change­able. Now a gang of them has tri­umphed in the coun­try that I love.

My coun­try has sunk into a dark age. I’ll try to hold on to the candle.
