[Gerry Gras]

parliament, it does not mean a rightward
shift.

"The other historic shift in Canadian politics is the poor showing of 
the Liberal Party. To grasp the significance of this imagine a socialist 
party with strong ties to unions replacing the Democrats as the 
alternative to the Republicans. That’s what has happened in Canada."
