Not Just Quebecers, Sweetie

Layton news leaves Quebecers questioning NDP's future

Ironic, isn't it? The NDP finally achieve a position of some power without riding on Liberal Party coat tails, and BAM!, their leader is taken out. The Liberal Party is in disarray and the Dippers are largely beholden to Quebec voters. Layton's own choice of a recommended replacement has no previous experience holding political office. Plus, just when it's obvious the country's political flavour is shifting to the right, she's as hard core as the Dippers can get,

I have a hunch Layton will not win this battle. His physical appearance in the videos and photos that I've seen is one of a very, very sick man. Shit happens in this world and history often turns on piles of it.

Still, there's something a bit uncomfortable about capitalizing on a pile of shit - and a man's misfortune - even if it did just land in front of you through no effort of your own.  But let there be no mistake, there are some interesting times ahead for Canada.
