This is becoming increasingly less of a concern, but if you're still worried about the prospects of a liberal social agenda in the event of a McCain/Palin win, here is what Canada has to offer:

The Obama speech is here.
Weezer shows some love for a whole lot of viral YouTube celebrities/Internet memes from recent memory in their new video. And here I thought All Your Base was safely buried among memories of junior high.
Priya Ghosh '09 sends in footage from Thursday night. You can see the pepper-gas-ball gun in action at 1:52-2:10ish, firing in a semicircle. Also, the K9 Units are visible though their actions are somewhat obscured by the lighting.

Everyone keep in mind that there are still A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT WENT ON.
