Political Apathy Out The Window

We have witnessed a STUNNING past two weeks in Canadian politics. Canadians are getting INVOLVED again! From coast to coast to coast, Canadians are flooding radio talk shows, bombarding internet forums, and getting organized.

All this talk of a potential coalition (temporarily relegated to the backburner due to Jean's decision to prorogue Parliament) has Canadians engaging themselves in our country's political sphere. As I read in the Metro (newspaper) yesterday, cabbies, barbers, teachers, students, bus drivers: everyone is talking! Tout le monde en parle!

These are exciting times for Canadian democracy. Perhaps we are not so apathetic after all!
