But, for the record – Ed Morrissey did not “bring down the Canadian government”, as some have described it.

His role was important, but […] it was NDP leader Jack Layton who “brought down” the Canadian government, not Ed.

Quite right. Bloggers, especially hard working ones with a lot of readers, can mobilize public opinion. We do not, however, rule the world.

Not yet, anyway.
