Vancouver is waking up to a hangover this morning: the Olympics are over. They ended well for Canada - we won two gold models in hockey. Will they end well for the Right Honorable Stephen Harper? Have Canadians forgotten about the torture of Afghan detainees? Has the best ever Olympics afterglow gone to our heads - have we fogotten our anger at the proroguing of Parliament and the dirty tricks to shut down the committee investigating the torture of Afghan detainees?
Has Mr Harper crafted and perfected a vision to inspire the nation as he "recalibrated" during the extended winter break? Will the throne speech and the new budget presented by his Finance Minister demonstrate leadership? Will the Conservatives fund clean energy and sign on to meaningful cuts to Canada's greenhouse gas emissions? Will we actually do something about climate change ? Will Canada begin a velvet climate revolution instead of playing follow the leader with the Americans?
It should be an interesting week.....
