Our Ears Are Burning - March 28

Here's the daily round-up of international media coverage of the Canadian election.

The Wall Street Journal is mildly interested in the fact that the markets aren't mildly interested in the election at all.

For the Atlanta Journal-Constituition the big story is that Stephen Harper won't make William and Kate's wedding.

The good folk at LifeSiteNews.com have reason to celebrate. Apparently the "pro-homosexual bills that would have added gender expression and gender identity to the Human Rights Code died on the order paper with the calling of the election.

The Hindu wonders how Canadians will handle their first social media election.

SkyNews.au focuses in on Igantieff, recounting how the man with "bushy eyebrows and a stern glare" was wooed from Harvard to Canadian Politics but has yet to catch on with the voters.

In totally unrelated news but included only because of a shout out to the 1993 election, the Sydney Morning Herald compares the decimation of the labour government in New South Wales to the massacre of the Tories under Kim Campbell.
