Well, I can't say we didn't see this coming. A no-confidence vote for Canada's Liberal Party has been rumored for months now, after scandals rocked the country regarding election graft and money laundering.
Too bad we can't call for a note of "no confidence" when things start to go south here. Sure would make four years more tolerable if there was a safety valve when they screw up less than a year into their second term.....
Anyway, since we don't have that luxury, we can at least watch from afar with amusement as Canada struggles with it. Sadly, they seem to be left with a choice between bad and worse, with no real positive or hopeful options to get people excited. They will have the same Liberal versus Conservative battles, although I dare say that they will be far more oriented towards things like policy, finances, and traditional state values (ala Quebec), than ideology or religion rhetoric tearing the country apart.
