Pay close attention to Harper, especially what he has said before the party merger and the campaign. Remember Bush ran as a "compassionate conservative", if Harper gets elected we'll be in trouble. Say goodbye to bilingualism, health care, the CBC, and gay marriage, not to mention the budget crisis his corporate tax cuts and military spending will cause. Oh, and look forward to following Bush into whatever war he lies us into next.
Nothing makes me more happy than seeing Martin and the Liberals squirm, but if he looses to Harper I may seriously consider moving.

a minority government would be hell. other parties would fuck the party in power and make them look bad. any chance they have to get an election called they'll take it. might as well put monkeys in their place in ottawa in this case, would be more effective and cheaper.
