So far, Canada’s 2008 election campaign has one big whine fest. Today people were feigning outrage towards the Conservative Party for an alleged attack ad, posting an animated clip on a website showing a puffin pooping on the shoulder of a shrugging Stephane Dion. Yesterday, it was revulsion over a media consortium’s decision not to allow the Green Party’s, Elizabeth May, a spot in the coming leaders’ debate. Stephane Dion accused Harper of being a liar when Harper accused Dion about lying about the Green Shift carbon tax being revenue neutral. The day before that it was anger directed at Stephen Harper for dissolving Parliament and triggering an election. So much whining it’s making me whine about the whining. We really are lame up here.
