Opposition sweeps majority in free and fair Zimbabwe election*

(*a cruel April Fool's joke)

As PLVQ so deftly predicted, the ruling ZANU-PF, led by Zimbabwe's illegitimate President Robert Mugabe, swept yesterday's parliamentary elections (despite our endorsement of the Movement for Democratic Change).

I will refrain from engaging in a bitter, vitriolic rant about these results (note that Mugabe's nephew won his seat when 10,000 voters *magically* appeared), but will bitterly and vitriolically condemn Canada for barely whimpering about the disgrace that this election was.

While I appreciate that Canada has zero stature in the international community, it still does not give our Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister the liberty to stand silent on the economic and political repression of so many. Paul Martin and Pierre Pettigrew should once again be ashamed of themselves.
