Made-in-Canada Hope: Change Moment and Paul Dewar

made-in-canada hope: One felt that he had kept himself unspotted from the world…. He was made to be worshipped." - Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray One year ago, we had our made-in-Canada Hope and Change moment, according to Rabble. A dark decade of brutish and nasty rule had been replaced overnight. All the candor of youth was there, as well as all youth passionate purity. Even hardened cynics like myself dared to feel the warmth of sunlight streaming through the windows the next morning. Friends had deserted monumentally decent and hard-working NDP stalwarts like Paul Dewar out of blind panic that the Dark Lord would somehow contrive to pull the One Ring out of the Crack of Doom just in time and rule us forever. "Strategic voting," they called it. It was a famous victory. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
