New PM faces tough balancing act
CALGARY—Western Canada came in from the cold last night, sending a prime minister to the nation's capital for only the third time in 50 years. But for how long?

Like John Diefenbaker and Joe Clark before him, Stephen Harper did not take the country by storm.

Instead, yesterday's result fell almost 20 seats below the minimal expectations of the Conservatives going in to the vote.

For the second election in a row and the second time in less than three years, Canadian voters put a new prime minister on probation.
