Canuckistan

I think the untold story of this election (the outcome of which, I hasten to add, is not decided until the votes are counted) is the role of a fearsome blogger, Captain Ed, whose specific story about today's election is linked above (permalinks, LB, permalinks!). He, a Minnesotan, broke the story of the scandal-plagued Liberal Party of Canada, and did a lot of the investigative leg-work that the Canadian legacy media wouldn't. He was dogged, and his hard work led to the Libs' slide in the polls and ultimately this election.

Pretty neat how a lone blogger can change the course of a country's - and possibly the world's - history, eh?

(Notice that little Canadian humor there at the end?)
