Steyn: A few random thoughts on a grey morning after:
Justin is down over six per cent from his "sunny ways" sweep - and most of that went to other left-wing parties. That's to say, the day-o dauphin's support was reduced not by Scheer but by the Bloc and the Greens.
As for the consolations of a very narrow "popular vote" victory, aside from its irrelevance in parliamentary systems, the fact is that two-thirds of Canadian ballots went to left-wing parties. Lefties, alas, have no shortage of alternative places to park their votes; conservatives had a choice between Scheer's supposedly electable vapidity and an electorally insignificant populist party excluded from most debates and damned as racist.
~What's the upshot of that? If you thought the last four years of progressive virtue-signaling was nuts, get ready for worse: Trudeau will survive in the Commons only by pandering to lefties who take climate fanaticism and aboriginal land acknowledgments far more seriously than the blackface narcissus does.
