Stephen Harper is the leader of the new Conservative Party of Canada,
which was formed to merge the Progressive Conservatives and the
Alliance Party. The Conservatives got 99 seats, second to the
Liberals' 135. A majority is 155 of the 308 seats. With the NDP with
19 and one independent, the Liberals were able to form a government...
barely. Minority governments don't tend to last very long. I imagine
that will be the case this time.
Thanks to being in Windsor due to the recent death of my mother (for
those that don't already know), I got to vote this time around in an
advance poll. I voted Liberal, but the NDP MP won the riding. I used
to be a "card-carrying" member of the party, but now I just think they
are the lesser of evils. Conservatives will never get my vote after
the GST... NEVER... no matter what they currently call themselves.
By the way, I never saw any coverage in the States about the Canadian election.
