Conservatives trump Canadian elections

Michael Barone, senior political analyst for the Washington Examiner, has coverage of yesterday's Canadian elections that saw a Conservative win. His closing paragraph:

Going into this election, center-right parties were in various kinds of minority status in the four major Anglosphere democracies, as the minority party of government in Canada, as the dominant party in a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition in the United Kingdom, as the minority party by virtue of a couple of independent MPs in Australia and as controlling the House of Representatives but without a majority in the Senate and without the White House in the United States. Now the Conservatives are the majority party of government in Canada. An omen?
