Canada’s left-leaning parties — the Liberals and the New Democratic Party — are preparing to take down Stephen Harper’s minority Conservative government with a no-confidence vote and form a coalition government. The situation has gotten interesting enough that it’s caused Canada’s Governor-General Michaëlle Jean to interrupt her European tour to deal with it.
Background is available here.
Naturally, the Blogging Tories, Canada’s answer to Pajamas Media, are up in arms over the developments, flinging talking point feces all over the wingnutosphere*. That’s always entertaining.
Even better is my Canadian blogging pen-pal JJ’s amusement at American liberals taking notice of the perpetual-motion Schadenfreude machine that is the Harper government.
Fun times, indeed.
