I had to work all day, so I couldn't see PM Harper's speech to the "Influential" Council on Foreign Relations, but happily CTV has the full speech and especially the question and answer segment. It's worth watching.
I also went to the Globe and Mail site, and by the rabid anti-Harper comments posted there, I understand that even the lefties know how great a job PM Harper did in his presentation. It was awesome. PM Harper was relaxed, and very personable. Most importantly, he answered every question with a well thought out response. I loved his slap down of the guy who said that we still killed seal pups by clubbing them.
Is the opposition stupid enough to bring down the government on Kyoto? How about the war in Afghanistan? Two none issues with Canadians. Canadians are not going to walk/bike to work in 30 below weather, nor to they want our troops to leave Afghanistan to the Taliban.
The opposition are fools if they think they will gain any seats over the Conservatives with such a strong leader. Even my Liberal Mom likes PM Harper. I actually hope that the opposition gets stupid enough to bring down this government, they honestly think the only reason the Conservatives got into government was because Canadians wanted to punish the Liberals for their theft of Canadian taxpayers money, but it was more than that, that's what they fail to understand.
Canadians were disgusted with the Liberals, yes, but they saw a united Conservative party, and they wanted change. After more than 18 months in power, the Conservatives have done something the Liberals never did, they have made us proud to be Canadians again. Even our most unique province, Quebec, is looking at the Conservatives as an option, and the calls for separation have gone the same way the Liberal brown paper bags went, into the dumpster. Hopefully for good.
Election, I don't think so, the opposition can make more trouble for the Conservatives in this slim minority than they can ever hope for with a Conservative majority. We will get a majority next time, so let the opposition sputter and primp, in the end, one of the parties will fold.
