Canada's Goldwater moment?

Interesting and well-argued piece on the Canadian election in National Review Online today by Dan Dunsky of TVOntario, likening the results of June 28th to the Goldwater watershed election of 1964, which essentially launched the modern conservative movement in the U.S.

I've thought hard about this myself, and -- while I desperately want to -- I cannot come to the same hopeful conclusions. The Canadian conservative "movement" (we could have a serious debate as to whether such a thing actually exists) is nowhere near the institutional sophistication of 1964 America.

I don't want to say anything more for now; I'm going to write something more formal about this and hopefully have it published this week.
