I was suddenly immune to the late-in-the-game attack ads, the rote answers and widespread failure of the major leaders to actually answer questions

A week ago Friday, I was among the first people in my Toronto riding to vote at the advance poll. I’ve always loved the advance poll , but never more so than this election. This campaign has been so dispiriting, so small-minded, that I couldn’t bear another day of it.I am free. I have been for a week.

I left the tour after six days, hobbled. An ordinarily active hiker and runner , I effectively went from 100 klicks an hour to zero, and spent long days on a bus or plane. Something called the piriformis muscle seized, and the pain ran from butt to hamstrings.The day after I left the tour, the “blackface” scandal broke. Despite my aching legs, I began spontaneously breaking into Day O, the Harry Belafonte staple Trudeau once performed, in blackface of course, at a high school costume night.

I will be watching election night, of course, fully expecting that is most often the case, I will get the government they deserve.
