I saw a few of those flags being waved amidst all of the union jacks in the crowd during the Royal Wedding...just curious - do you think that event might have inspired a higher Tory among those who might be described as traditionalists?
I know a first-time Conservative voter from Iggy’s riding. :-)
Yeah, the NDP rise is disturbing, for sure!
I hope America’s conservatives can get more than 38% though.
Good news for Canada!
I lived in Ontario for nine years (native Texan myself) and my view of Harper was that he was more conservative than what you’d see in a McCain or Huckabee admin.
Because Canada produces the vast majority of NHL players, and both in the photo are Canucks?
Just my guess, YMMV...
Harper has absolutely nothing to do with christian/conservative values, the name conservative has no relation to him or what his party claimed to have stood for many decades ago. The Christian Heritage Party is the only conservative party left in Canada that can even use that term anymore.

Congratulations, Canada.
you said “the best prime minister Canada ever had”
You have absolutely nothing to do with Christian conservative values and you have absolutely no understanding of history either.
Good to see Canada moving rightward. What needs to be done to further change things is you folks need legal protection of free speech & get rid of the lefts speech codes. As long as the left controls and can shut down debate conservatism is to a disadvantage.
Woohoo! It sounded from the media like this was not the expected outcome. Good job! Makes me want to visit soon!

Unless he loses 12 or 13 Conservative Parliament members there will be no elections in Canada until 2015. This is the largest governing majority for the Conservatives since the 1980’s with Brian Mulroney I’m sure.
Harper is probably their best Prime Minister in decades.
psychopomp <<- good word-smithing..
Polls on friday were saying another Conservative minority. NDP surge was predicted. Polls had shown their strength for a few weeks now. Collapse of the Libs and Bloc Quebecois also somewhat expected as a result of that surge.
Makes me even more happy that I could contribute to the Canadian economy by staying in Banff for a week.
I’m still going through “Tim Bits” withdrawal. ;)
Here’s to the True North, Strong and Free!
Rolling back the years of Trudeau-ism is an arduous task.
