The American Presidential election 2008 – A historic day, November 4, 2008
Today (November 4th, 2008) will go down in world history as a historic, hyper-relevant day. Admittedly, it is a day that holds a LOT of weight in the lives of Canadians. Regardless of whether you’re American or Canadian, I do hope that you’ll be voting or have voted in the upcoming elections (American President Nov 4th and Vancouver municipal election Nov 15th).
I am now comfortable with the fact that many, many Canadians (not dual citizens, but Canadian-only) will be paying attention to the US presidential election. Frankly, so will I. But right after it’s over, I plan to refocus (and draw attention) to our municipal elections.
Would I like Obama to win? For sure I would. That would be an Earth-shattering accomplishment, and one that I think will bring lots of positive changes to the US and the world.
