Linux fan to run against Arnie in California election (Silicon.com)

Ok, so it *is* off topic, but it's kind of weird.

Ontario, Canada fits the bill:
- gay marriages legalized by court ruling this summer. We had lots of folks from all over US and Canada come to tie the lot legally.

- universal (publicly funded) health care: since the 1960s. (Caveats of course regarding dental work and purely cosmetic stuff. But hospital and MD stuff all covered.)

- legalization of drugs. Medicinal marijuana is now legal in Canada, and as of this year the police are not pushing enforcement of simple possession cases of small amounts of narcotics.

All this while Ontario has the most right-wing government in 50 years+.
Chalk it up to the courts, the feds, and strong popular support for health care.

Weird indeed.
