I mean, who could support something like this, eh?

And in Canada!! It may seem like a trivial policy detail (unless you're 80, arthritic, and have to walk 10 blocks in the snow to get your mail); but it turned out to be a fitting metaphor of the kind of inhumanity Canadians could expect from Harper if he had been returned to government, and I'm glad it wasn't lost on the voters.

Congrats, Canada. And all the best.
