“If it were in my power, I would try the sunny way.” Wilfred Laurier 1895

I am betting many of you know about the fact that Canada elected a new Government this year. Justin Trudeau, the leader of the Liberal party, has been a newsmaker all over the world, Lots of people think he is “hot”.

In comparison to our old Prime minister- helmet haired, dour, and boring as snot; Stephen Harper, this is very true.

But there is a lot more than just a face, and “hotness” to talk about.

This shift has been so amazing and dramatic in many many ways. And that is what I want to focus on today.

I am not really a wholehearted supporter of the Liberals, they veer too far to the right on financial and economic issues for me. But. They are not the party of Harper.

So many of us, voted for the Liberals in a spurt of strategic voting.

And Canadians voted in droves this last time around. We had the best voter turnout since 1993. Everyone it seems, had had enough of the darkness. Voter turnout up by 270 per cent in some aboriginal communities.

It was a nasty nasty election season. The Conservative party of Canada (we shall use CPoC from here on) pulled a lot of really evil tricks.

They tried to scare us into re-electing them using fear tactics.
