Well, the the party (NDP) that holds the official opposition in Canada is holding off on the applause ... if you read the CBC link I posted .... if not, here's a quote from Thomas Mulcair the deputy leader of the opposition

"Mulcair also said the killing requires "a full analysis" on whether it was self-defence or a direct killing because "that has to do with American law and international law as well."

I think his point is valid, and over the next few days (as the dust of celebration settles down) many decent people will probably raise the same question .... if the NDP had won the election this would be the official stand of the Canadian government .... now I know many Canadian catter's would not and did not vote for Harper or the Liberals ... hmmmm, so who did they vote for .... :-)
