Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper had to miss today's Royal Wedding because of next week's election, and we cats couldn't be more pleased.
Why? Because the wedding apparently was brilliant, and the election — well, the election may be less than Mr. "Pillsbury Doughboy" Harper had hoped. The New Democratic Party has surged to within five points of the anemic minority-government Conservatives.
So, we cats say to Canadian Liberals: If you can afford to vote for an NDP member in your parliamentary riding, please do so. Prove that Stephen Harper's Bushian brand of hostile, punitive conservative government is not the model for the world.
If you do this, we cats will PURR.
UPDATE: Ugh. You Liberal voters in Ontario apparently read us wrong. You were supposed to vote for the NDP, not the Tories, you goofs. So the Conservatives finally have their majority. Let's hope that their more looney-tune right-wing policies are blocked by a robust opposition. It's up to you, Jack.
