The liberals need to clean house - and perhaps the only way to do so is through the electoral process. That is how democracy works. Having said that - it looks to me that Harper has peaked a little too soon - so a majority government is not really in the works.

So - we are to have a conservative minority bogged down so to speak. Harper is in a bit of a pickle. If he kowtows to the federalists - he alienates the socons - and if he kowtows to the socons - he alienates the federalists. The socons have been oddly quiet this campaign - Harper told them to shut up.

I think we will see yet another election before this year is out.

Having said that - I like Martin. I like the fact that Canada enjoys surpluses and its economy is going strong.
We have seen in the past what conservatives do when in power. I am hopeful a minority government is the best Harper can finangle. I am also hopeful that the Bush administration faces the full wrath of America for its abysmmal lack of judgement regarding the rule of law.

It is time for all to see that conservatism - at its root is flawed. It is time for liberalism to grow and evolve into a trully representational power so that all aspects of society can grow and flourish.
