I haven’t said much about the American election, and in fact, this is courtesy of my wife, who said yesterday evening watching John McCain’s concession speech: I wish Canada had such a MAN, such a graceful loser, and not such a grovelling, whining little boy for an opposition leader.

Congratulations, Mr. Obama. I hope you can bring the American people together and help bring an end to the racial divide that has plagued your country for centuries.
