Revenge of the Hockey Moms...

I thought that this election campaign summary, by Warren Kinsella, a former Chretien adviser (ie. Liberal), was interesting.

...With everything they did, the Tory campaign was all about the revenge of the hockey Moms and Dads.
It wasn't about Left versus Right. It wasn't about Urban versus Rural. It wasn't about East versus West. It wasn't about French versus English.
It was about us (the people at hockey rinks, holding cups from Tim's or Coffee Time) versus the elites (the ones who have never been on public transit, and who read the Sunday Times at Starbucks).

So I'm not sure where that leaves me - I dislike Tim's coffee, ride the LRT to work starting tomorrow, but enjoy reading the Sunday Times (I think he means London, but there's also the Sunday New York Times) online on occasion ...

As an aside, it's interesting how Tim Horton's is frequently used as an analogy for "regular everyday people", from Monte Solberg's blog, to the unnamed coffee shop on the Royal Canadian Air Farce sketches (much less frequent since John Morgan's departure).
