Hi fanfan....

I must advise all Canadian Freepers to temper any excitement or high hopes.

This bunch of arrogant, thieving, lying, crooked snakes will retain power against all odds.

They are the mob. No matter how many scandals they have chalked up against them, Canadians don't seem to mind.

It is stunning how they are continually voted into power. But then, with the entire media operation up here as pro-liberal as they are anti-conservative, it is little wonder.

Mr. Harper will immediately be painted as a right-wing, religious, fanatical nut, anxious to join America and send Canada's young people overseas to be killed in "America's" war. This was the line that went out during the two weeks prior to the last election, and it worked.

Sorry to rain on any parades, but I keep my optimism in check up here.

OK Judy, but you'll have to buy me a beer when we form the next Government by November at the latest.

I'll buy you one if The corrupt Mr. Dithers is still in power by then. Deal?

The Conservatives need to realistically break through in French Canada. But Francophone Canadians are so disillusioned by the Liberals that they won't trust any other English-speaking party and will park their votes with the Bloc. If the Conservatives want to lead a majority Government, the trust of the Quebecois will have to be earned.
