Canadians are going to find that Harper is actually closer to the ordinary people's view. He is not a charmer but neither am I but the message gets through eventually.

Iggy is just another scholar. No emotion, he can't win either.

And exactly what is the message? We are just as inept as the Liberals?

I am not nuts about the conservatives lack of progress in agriculture but as a whole the government as got alot done since taking office and with a minority government. He couldn't bulldoze his way through this without some comprimises. The liberals had a attitude of my way or the hiway. As an example the liberals had at least 16 years to put the native school issue to rest but couldn't find a way to say sorry.

harper is just as cynical a politician as chretien ever was, just hasn't had as much time to be as crooked as chretien. his only vision is of a conservative majority and that is all that will determine his actions until the next election. he'll say all the right things out west but his attention is where he needs the votes: ontario and quebec.

I think you are being unfair jensend, every politician wants a majority; the corrupt for their own gain, the upright to do what they think is best for the country. Wanting a majority isn’t bad in itself even though the motive behind it might be.

We all know what the last government did with their majority (Adscam, Shawinigate, etc). Personally, I’d be more than curious to see what the Harper Conservatives will do with a majority. Until then, I’m withholding my condemnation of their motives in wanting one.
