Canada's 22nd Prime Minister - The Right Honourable Stephen Harper

Congratulations to Harper and his team. They ran a good campaign and put forward their issues to Canadians in a spirited way. Time will tell how long this government will last but two things are certain.

One, the West is in and will be heard.

Two, Canada has two national parties and the Bloc is on the way down.

The second point is an excellent development for Canadians.

Thanks for the excellent election coverage on your blog. I like a lot of the longer posts we were getting. So much better than some of that Jessica Simpson stuff that used to be on here a lot. A job well done to you too.

Cheers,

Personally, I think the first point is also an excellent development for Canada.

But that's just me.

The West is in.

Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are not.

Interesting times, eh?

Point taken, Q. Personally, I'm more happy with the fact that the Western separtists movement has lost a bit of wind.

There was more than idle talk in this province about leaving Canada if the Liberals were brought back to power. Stephen Harper knows this and we have him and Preston Manning to thank for turning Alberta's frustrations towards Ottawa.

"The West Wants In" is more pertinent than non-Albertans realize

I'll add my thanks as well, Shaky... although I'm not sure my two bits are always appreciated here, you haven't put the run to me... yet...

The more I think about Harper being in minority, the better I feel about it. While it might have been nice to have a majority, this situation forces the Conservatives to play nice... and hopefully the other parties will follow suit. It's time Ottawa started acting it's age.
