federal election 2006

This election seems destined to result in an outcome that will set back the cause of social justice in Canada. However, it is up to progressive minded Canadians to ensure that this setback is temporary.

Just as the regrettable election and reelection of the Bush Republicans has sown the seeds for a rebirth of rational thinking and an ever-growing resistance movement stateside, so would the election of the Harper Conservatives in Canada.

The sun will still come out on January 24th, and Canada will still be a beautiful place. The Conservatives may win this skirmish, but we will ultimately prevail in the much broader struggle for social justice.
