Tom Brodbeck says ‘It’s Time to Mend Fences’; Legendary Canadian OpEdist, Peter Worthington believes ‘Election is Polls Apart’; Toronto Sun’s Mike Strobel thinks this sort of election could happen ‘Only in America’; Thane Burnett talks to the mother of a Canadian-born U.S. marine.

Mark Bonokoski says the 600k eligible voters in Canada and the ‘slacker revolution’ didn’t make the difference for which the Dems had hoped; Ike Awgu of The Ottawa Sun appears to be engaged in the ‘politics of paniciness’; In Calgary, Rick Bell talks to a few Albertans about the election results.

Finally, a few words about the importance of yesteday’s election to the people of Afghanistan…

‘When the women of Bamiyan, Afghanistan were warned that Taliban remnants would attack polling stations, the women performed ritual bathing and said the prayers of those facing death. They then rose at 3 a.m., trekked an hour to wait in line for the polls to open at 7 a.m.’

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
