On Monday, the Canadians had their general election. Unfortunately, the strongly antigay Conservative party won a majority- but there was some good news.
The New Democratic Party, the former fourth party in the House of Commons, rose a staggering amount to become the second-largest party, and the official opposition. This is the first time in history the Liberals and a Conservative party have not been the two biggest parties.
As little as I know about Canadian politics, I do know that this means hope for third party and minor party supporters everywhere. You don't have to give up and vote for one of the main two. Vote for what you believe in, and work towards a breakthrough. They do happen.
