She Turned Out To Be By Far The Angriest Person In The Room

Nice piece on the trouncing of Sue Ann Levy:

For people familiar with her writing, this was not entirely surprising, inordinate expressions of outrage being something of a staple for her. Levy's one-note campaign failed to inspire and failed to offer a nuanced vision of both her electoral district and her province, preferring to only to tear down rather than suggest where she might build up.

Frankly, I thought it would be a lot closer than the 19% blowout it turned out to be. But, on the other hand, I have personally experienced very little in the way of outrage over the HST.

I had forgotten about the by-election. I was kind of bemused reading news reports today that claimed the Liberals had managed to "hang on to this riding."

Be fair. The Liberals came within a hair of not beating their percentage in the last election. ;)
