      A minority government has been in power for all of Canada’s best achievements. This isn’t a surprise. The NDP would seem short-sighted in the office and bludgeoned in the press, but as the conscience of the Liberals they have the power to push them for our good.

      It’s an interesting one-two punch to the cruelty and PR of the Cons. The Libs can defend in the press and play victim to the Dems’ horrible machinations - insert dramatic swoon here - and the Cons have to fight both fronts. Accidentally, while no one’s looking, Canadians’ long-term happiness improves in every way that isn’t American Rat-race cool.
