Conservatives to Form Government in Canada - powerlineblog - January 23, 2006
The Conservatives have won big in today's Canadian election; it appears that they will form a minority government. Congratulations to our friend Captain Ed, who deserves a huge share of the credit. Ed is the first blogger who can credibly claim to have influenced a national election. Not that Ed makes that claim, but we do. And it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Congratulations, Ed!

[My comment to Ed "CQ you can take a bow for your great work on behalf of Canadian democracy. You bypassed the silly news ban on scandals and Canada learnt the truth. Again congratulations." Posted by: stackja1945 at January 21, 2006 06:54 PM]

[To the uninitiated do a google gomery captain ed I got 30,000 pages. Gomery investigated the Liberal scandal and captain ed posted the testimony Canada learnt the truth and voted the crooks out.]
