And I realized why; its not just that the NDP pulled off something epic, and we have an NDP govt. in Alberta, but also that victories are so rare for people like me who are very liberal on social issues, libertarian on Charter of Rights issues, and socialist on economic issues. We are so used to being let down in elections. I hope this is a watershed moment for Canada.
