Oh. Canada.

So, the day after an historic election -- the first Westerner (I will exempt tokens like Joe Clark, John Turner, Kim Campbell) since John Diefenbaker -- to gain power and what does the CBC run with as its first story on The National?

Frank McKenna, resigning his post as Ambassador to the United States, to presumably lead the charge against the Conservatives. This was helpfully powerpointed with a graph that showed McKenna with 17% of a presumable vote, versus Brian Tobin at 11% and Belinda Stronach at 9%. You go, girl!

As always, these figures are uncorroborated, at least until CBC gets the guts to release a (free) transcript of its programs.

Harrumph. Next up was Stephen Harper's egregious blunder. He actually shook hands with his children as he dropped them off at school. As opposed to falling on his knees, in the drizzling rain, shouting "Sheila! I coulda been a contendah!

Or something like that. Like I say, release the transcripts and I will pick and choose my moments -- but surely more fairly than you do.

Heh. I said "do".
