And So the Squishiness, Supineness and Muddle-Headedness Begins...

Be careful what you wish for Canadians, because this is what you'll get:
Canada's Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau, who came from behind to trounce his Conservative rivals and snatch a majority mandate, now has to deliver on pledges from tackling climate change to legalizing marijuana. 
Trudeau, who had also promised to withdraw Canada from combat in the coalition fight against Islamic State, said he told U.S. President Barack Obama on Tuesday that Canada will pull out of the bombing mission but maintain humanitarian aid and training.  
The White House had earlier said it hopes the new Canadian government will continue to support the efforts of the U.S.-led coalition to fight Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq. 
"He understands the commitment I've made around ending the combat mission," Trudeau told reporters. 
Trudeau, who campaigned on a promise of change, toppled Stephen Harper's Conservatives on Monday, giving him the freedom to start implementing his campaign pledges largely unimpeded...
Looking on the bright side, if you're stoned on weed, you probably won't notice that Justin's just given your country a spine-ectomy.
